MARVELOUS MATH 3
MARVELOUS MATH 3
At Aquarian, we use the Saxon Math Program and do math blocking, which means all students in the school have math at the same time each day for 75 minutes. Your child will be taught math at their assessed level.
Other than email, I like to use Remind to communicate. Please join Math, 3rd Grade- Tracy. I will send reminders, HW, and more. It's a great way to keep in touch.
REMIND: Math, 3rd Grade-Tracy-bk96g397dd
Dear Marvelous Math Parents,
My name is Connie Tracy and I am excited to be teaching your mathematician 3rd-grade math this school year! I am sure you are familiar with the Saxon curriculum, but here are a few reminders:
- We complete one lesson per day, except on test days.
- Each lesson has a written and fact practice homework component daily
- A test is given in class every 5 lessons after lesson 10.
Students are expected to come to math class each day prepared with their math folder and homework.
8:35 - 8:50 Math Meeting- We do this together as a class.
8:50 - 9:00 Fact Practice side A- B is done for homework
9:00 - 9:35 Daily Math Lesson
9:35 - 9:50 Guided Practice - Side A and B if time allows. Side B is done for Homework.
Students will have homework on lesson days, but not necessarily on test days. Homework will typically consist of the "B" side of the lesson page and the "B" side of the fact practice page. Homework is due the day after it is assigned. A curriculum expectation of Saxon is that families check over the "B" side of both fact practice and homework before turning it in the next day.
Report cards will show an academic and an effort grade. The effort grade is made up solely of homework assignments. Tests are given after every five lessons starting after lesson 10. Each test has a fact component as well as a written assessment. Fact tests are worth 25 points each until they get to the 100 facts- later on in the year. Written assessments vary in points depending on the problems. Tests cover cumulative material. Academic grades consist primarily of test grades and Math Fact tests.
Late homework will be accepted at no penalty up to ten lessons after it is due. For example, the homework from lesson 7 will be accepted until the day lesson 17 is due.
If you are planning an extended absence, please notify me by email ahead of time so that I can prepare the homework papers to go home with your child.
Occasionally students may get a start on or even finish their homework in class. Please check the homework for accuracy and completion nightly, even if it is completed during class time.
Students can always use extra fact practice drills. Try playing games and verbally quiz your child on addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts as often as they will tolerate!
You can expect a weekly email from me including the current homework assignments and test schedule as well as any concepts that can be reinforced at home. Please email me anytime with questions, comments, or concerns. You are always welcome to attend math and volunteer in my classroom. I look forward to working with you and your child this school year.
Class Dojo- This is used as our “Super Improver” wall. Each day we will earn starries for positive behavior. Once the students earn an amount (this is generally 40 starries) their eggs will hatch and then that is when the REAL fun begins! You will have access to see how your child is doing in Dojo. This will be used for ANY improvements on assessments and behaviors. Additionally, I can send pictures and notices this way, too. It is a one-stop-shop on all things Marvelous Math.
