Welcome to the 3rd Grade Math Summer Site!

We created this page to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming school year and to provide helpful resources to support your child’s preparation.
Scroll down to explore activities and tips designed to get your child ready for success in class.

We’re excited to partner with you this fall—see you soon!

What We Value and What To Expect: 

Maintaining a growth mindset ourselves, we continually refine our approach in order to foster a deep mathematical understanding in our students. Beyond just finding the correct answer, this year, students will engage deeply with mathematical concepts, using and exemplifying those ideas through the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) framework. Throughout this year, students will model and explain concepts with manipulatives, drawings, and mathematical expressions, making connections along the way.

To help achieve these goals, we will use Eureka Math² as our main resource. Eureka Math² is an interactive and highly regarded program designed to build lasting math knowledge. Families, click HERE for more information about Eureka Math².

Preparing for Next Year:

Throughout the year, students will complete six modules (or chapters). To be best prepared, certain prerequisite skills should be understood. See below for practice pertaining to each of next year's modules. Modules will be followed in sequential order. 

Module 1 Prerequisite Skills

• Write a repeated addition equation to represent equal groups or an array, including writing an equation to express an even number as the sum of two equal addends.

• Represent equal groups of up to 5 groups of 5 objects by using manipulatives or drawings and apply an addition strategy (such as counting on, skip-counting, or doubles) to find the total number of objects.

• Count forward by ones, tens, and hundreds within 1,000, starting at any number.

• Skip-count by fives.

Modules 2 and 3 Prerequisite Skills

• Understanding a ruler and number line Supporting Activity 

• Skip-count by tens and hundreds and related skip-counting to addition Supporting Activity

• Apply the base-ten relationship of place value units to develop flexibility in renaming numbers by composing and decomposing units Supporting Activity 

• Apply the base-ten relationship of place value units to develop flexibility in renaming numbers by composing and decomposing units Supporting Activity 

• Develop flexibility in renaming numbers by composing and decomposing units Supporting Activity 

•  Base-ten relationship of place value and develop flexibility in renaming numbers supporting activity 

Modules 4 and 5 Prerequisite Skills

• Recognizing attributes of polygons 

• Basic measurement concepts 

• Use fraction language to describe partitions of shapes into equal shares 

• Describe the shaded or unshaded part of a shape with halves, thirds, and fourths in unit form 

• Decomposing shapes into equal parts 

Module 6 Prerequisite Skills

• Tell and write time to the nearest 5 minutes on analog and digital clocks.

• Label a given daily event as a.m. or p.m.

• Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
