landmarks in the hundreds
We started a new unit in Math called landmarks in the hundreds and the emphasis is on factors and multiples of larger numbers. for example, how many 25's are in 725? factors and multiples are nothing new, we taught them for about the first 9 weeks. Here the students MUST know the factors of 100 and must know how to apply them.Also, tomorrow they will get a social studies study guide--test on thursday. IF, IF ,IF the students know the factors of 100 this should be an easier unit for them. We'll see. Thanks. AG
An Exciting Year
Are you ready?--Ready to learn more about Math, Science, and Social Studies than you've ever learned before! Math Investigations is taught and as you may know, M.I. does not have very much homework. Grades will be given through tests and Duval County exams. Science and Social Studies will be given report card grades for the first time (instead of S/N) and a study guide will be given approx. two day before the test. It is up to the student to copy the study guide and STUDY the study guide. You can help your child in Math by practicing skip counting with them--for example 3,6,9,12...etc.
last year they should have learned to skip count by 2's, 3's, 5's, and 10's to 1,000. Now practice the 4's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's.Skip counting is essential in third grade.
