Mathematics

 

Hi Grade 3 Families, 

I wanted to take the time to discuss our math program and provide you with some resources to support your children at home. 

I know for many student’s math can be intimidating, but it is my goal to place a more positive outlook on the subject, which can also start at home. I encourage you to include your children in activities around the house that will promote mathematical thinking and problem-solving. If you can fit it into your schedules, try and bake with your child, encourage them to read an analog clock, and let them take part in any sort of construction activity. There are many ways to promote mathematical thinking outside of the classroom, and as much as I will try and incorporate what I can, it would be great if you provided them these enriching opportunities as well. My goal is to make math more engaging, and focus on the

that are so important for your children to develop. The curriculum also focuses on social-emotional learning which is very important to me in maintaining your children’s well-being. Therefore, I hope to create an environment where we can make mistakes, learn from one another and gain real-world applications.

If you are wondering what we are working on in mathematics this year, please refer to this resource to better familiarize yourself with the grade 3 mathematics curriculum. I would also like to encourage you to use IXL math at home to support your child’s development. They will be sent home with their login information and I will assign topics as we complete them in class. If you have any questions about furthering their learning or assisting in any way, please reach out. See below for a breakdown of the strands we will be covering this school year.
