February: What is Grade 3 studying?


ELA:

Module 2: Adaptations and the Wide World of Frogs

Module Summary: In this module, students will read poetry and pourquoi tales about different kinds of frogs to generate “why” questions. They will research to find out the real answers to their frog questions and write paragraphs to communicate their research. Students will also participate in research groups to become experts on various “freaky” frogs. 

Unit Tasks:

  • Students read a new poem and pourquoi tale and answer selected response questions about them. Students read aloud their pourquoi tale and write a new pourquoi tale explaining why frogs have certain physical adaptations or behave in a certain way.
  • Students read a new informational text and answer selected response questions and write an informative paragraph.
  • In Unit 3 the students will write an informative essay.

 

Eureka Math: 

Module 5: Fractions as Numbers on the Number Line 

Students will...…

  • partition a whole into parts
  • identify and represent shaded and non-shaded parts 
  • compare unit fractions by reasoning their size 
  • place fractions on a number line 

 

Common Core Learning Standards:

3.NF.A.1 - Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

3.NF.A.2 - Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.

3.NF.A.3 - Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

3.G.A.2 - Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area, and describe the area of each part as 1/4 of the area of the shape.
