Dominican International School Math COURSE SYLLABUS GRADE LEVEL: grade 3 SCHOOL YEAR: 2017-20-18 TEACHER: Mr. Williams EMAIL: ewilliams@dishs.tp.edu.tw COURSE DESCRIPTION: Students in the third grade explore, create and discover further mathematics through activity centered instruction. They construct their own Math understanding and sharpen their mathematical skills when they communicate with each other. More reinforcement exercises are provided in the number concepts and basic operations through multi step word problems. Addition and subtraction of similar fractions are introduced together with decimals using money notations. Ideas about geometric figures are also extended in the grade. 1. Students generalize their understanding of place value to 1,000,000, understanding the relative sizes/value of numbers in each place. They apply their understanding of models for multiplication (equal-sized groups, arrays, area models), place value, and properties of operations, in particular the distributive property, as they develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to compute products of multi-digit whole numbers. Students will also apply their understanding of models for division, place value, properties of operations, and the relationship of division to multiplication as they develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable procedures to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends. They select and accurately apply appropriate methods to estimate and mentally calculate quotients, and interpret remainders based upon the context. (2) Students develop understanding of fraction equivalence and operations with fractions. They recognize that two different fractions can be equal (e.g., 15/9 = 5/3), and they develop methods for generating and recognizing equivalent fractions. Students extend previous understandings about how fractions are built from unit fractions, composing fractions from unit fractions, decomposing fractions into unit fractions, and using the meaning of fractions and the meaning of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number. (3) Students describe, analyze, compare, and classify two-dimensional shapes. Through building, drawing, and analyzing two-dimensional shapes, students deepen their understanding of properties of two-dimensional objects and the use of them to solve problems involving symmetry.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: The students will receive instruction in and demonstrate the ability to perform basic mathematical function and problem solving in the following areas: graphs, place value, adding and subtracting whole numbers and money, multiplication, division, geometry, fractions, measurement, decimals, and probability.
