May & June: What is Grade 3 studying?
EL Pilot
Module: Adaptations and the Wide World of Frogs
Guiding Questions:
How does an author engage the reader in a narrative?
How do experts build knowledge and share expertise about a topic?
How do frogs survive?
Unit Summary: In this module, students will use literacy skills to become experts--people who use reading, writing, listening, and speaking to build and share deep knowledge about a topic. They will read poetry and pourquoi tales about different kinds of frogs. The students will also engage in research to answer questions about frogs and communicate their findings with their peers.
Unit Goals:
- Answer questions based on text evidence
- Understand the structure of Pourquoi tales
- Use text features to interpret informational articles
Eureka Math:
Module 7: Geometry and Measurement Word Problems
Students will…
- solve word problems
- identify attributes of two-dimensional shapes
- problem solve with perimeter
- record perimeter and area data on line plots
- use problem solving with perimeter and area
Common Core Learning Standards:
3.MD.B.4 - Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
3.OA.D.8 - Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
3.MD.B.4 - Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
3.MD.D.8 - Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
3.G.A.1 - Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
