Some of these tasks are games you can play with materials at home, while others are projects or supplemental materials from our Engage NY/Eureka math curriculum. Some of the activities below require a printer or materials you probably have at home, like a deck of playing cards.
Email kvanduzer@ps29bk.org with pictures of you doing any of these activities (or pictures of the mathematical art you make), and Ms. Van Duzer will post them on this site!

Grade 3 Math Overview
Third Grade mathematics is about (1) developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100; (2) developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (e.g. 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 1/6, 1/8); (3) developing understanding of rectangular arrays and area; and (4) describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes. By the end of the year, third graders aim to know by memory multiplication facts involving single digit factors (e.g. 8 x 6) and with 10 as a factor (e.g. 9 x 10).
