MATH STANDARD(S): NC.3.NF.4: Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size, using area and length models, and using the >, <, and = symbols.

OBJECTIVE(S):

  • Reason about unit fractions to compare two fractions using the sizes of the unit fractions shown by the denominator and the number of parts shown by the numerator.

  • Determine if fractions to be compared have the same numerators or denominators.

  • Use models or number lines to explain why one fraction is greater than or less than another.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S): How do we compare fractions?

I CAN STATEMENT(S): I can explain how we compare fractions.

VOCABULARY: compare, numerator, denominator, unit fraction

MONDAY: Students will explore what it means to compare fractions. They will compare fractions with the same denominators using models and number lines. (Lesson 18)

TUESDAY: Students will use models to compare two fractions that either have the same denominators or the same numerators. (Lesson 18)

WEDNESDAY: Students will demonstrate their understanding of comparing two fractions that have either the same numerator or the same denominator. (Lesson 18)

THURSDAY: Students will review for and test on Lesson 18: Understand Comparing Fractions.

FRIDAY: Students will complete make-up work for Lesson 17: Find Equivalent Fractions. EARLY DISMISSAL TODAY!!

SCIENCE STANDARD(S): 3.P.3: Recognize how energy can be transferred from one object to another.

OBJECTIVE(S): 3.P.3.1: Recognize that energy can be transferred from one object to another by rubbing them against each other.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S): What is Chemical Energy?

I CAN STATEMENT(S): I can explain what Chemical Energy is.

VOCABULARY: chemical energy, electrical energy, heat energy, matter

MONDAY: Students will watch video: Sources of Energy. Then complete worksheet about Chemical Energy.

TUESDAY: Students will learn how to use Quizlet applet to complete Forms of Energy activity.

WEDNESDAY: Students will review for and test on Energy lesson.

SCIENCE STANDARD(S): 3.P.1.: Understand motion and forces that affect motion.

OBJECTIVE(S): 3.P.1.1: Infer changes in speed or direction resulting from forces acting on an object.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S): What causes objects to change speed and/or direction?

I CAN STATEMENT(S): I can explain what causes objects to change speed and/or direction.

VOCABULARY: motion, position, speed, constant speed, variable speed, force, constant forces, distance, weight

friction, magnetism, gravity

THURSDAY: Students will read, highlight pertinent information, and answer questions about Force and Motion from given Study Guide.

FRIDAY: Students will complete questions about Force and Motion from StudyJams! applet and given worksheet. EARLY DISMISSAL TODAY!!
