Grade 3 Math

Major ConceptsWe have started learning division concepts. Students use their knowledge of multiplication to solve division problems. Division is thought of as repeatedly subtracting the same amount or sharing among equal groups. Students learn to divide using number bonds, arrays, and equal groups. See the poster below for examples of each strategy.We will soon begin learning area and perimeter in relation to rectangles. Students use all four operations (add/sub/mult/div) to solve for missing pieces. We use multiplication to find the area of a rectangle and addition to solve the perimeter of a rectangle.Lastly, we have continued to work on our problem solving skills. Students are working in small groups to solve one and two step word problems. See the RTI – Cycle 2 Newsletter for reference sheets and photos! Current Vocabulary
