Grade 3 Mathematics Prince William County Pacing Guide with Summary of Resources 2016-2017 Teacher focus groups have assigned a given number of days to each unit based on their experiences and knowledge of the curriculum. It is critical that teachers stay as close as possible to the pacing guidelines to ensure that all of the have been taught prior to the SOL Test, and that, as children move within the Division, their math instruction remains consistent. Ongoing review should occur throughout the year. Prince William County Regulation 602-1 describes the organization of the instructional day. Mathematics is allotted 75 minutes in grade 3. This should include an uninterrupted 60- minute block of time for the lesson and an additional 15-minute block to be used for classroom routines, number talks, ten-minute math, and/or other selected review activities. These types of activities are a critical element of mathematics instruction that provide essential practice and maintenance of key concepts and skills. Teachers may find the full wording of the objectives, along with the essential knowledge and skills to be learned, in the Unit Guides and in the Curriculum Guide. These documents are available on the Math Web site at http://goo.gl/7huce0. Unit guides created by the Teacher Focus Groups provide many suggestions for resources from which to choose. Classroom Routines and On-Going Spiral Review Teachers are expected to provide 10-15 minutes of spiral review each day. Topics should focus on areas that have previously been taught, but may need continued reinforcement or practice. Teachers may choose to use the spiral review interactive whiteboard files that are available for each unit on the Math Staff Communities page. The following SOLs will be taught throughout the year and will be tested in the following units: Reading temperature to the nearest degree (Unit 5) Telling time to the nearest minute, elapsed time (hours), and equivalent periods of time (Unit 5). Recognize, describe, and extend a variety of patterns formed using numbers, table, and pictures and extend the patterns using the same or different forms. (Units 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8) 3.13 3.11 3.12
