Geometry week

We are beginning our Transformational Geometry Unit for the week.  The expectations are as follows:

1. I can identify reflections (flips), translations (slides), and rotations (turns).

2. I can complete and describe designs and pictures of images that have a line of symmetry.

3. I can describe movements from one location to another using a grid map.

Here are some games that you can play online to practise these skills:

Flips, Slides, Turns

Symmetry

Probability

This is our last few weeks before EQAO.  We will be exploring 3 more math units, so stay on top of links and games here on the blog.

Probability Expectations

• I can predict the frequency of an outcome in a simple probability experiment or game, then perform the experiment, and compare the results with the predictions, using mathematical language

• I can demonstrate an understanding of fairness in a game and relate this to the occurrence of equally likely outcomes 

Here are some links to some games that you can play to practise these skills!

Mass and Capacity Expectations

Measurement Expectations:

• I can choose benchmarks for kg and litre
• I can estimate, measure, and record the mass of objects using a kg or parts of a kg (half, quarter)
• I can estimate, measure, and record the capacity of containers using a litre or parts of a litre
• I can compare and order a collection of objects using mass or capacity

 

Some games to try:

Measure the Mass of Letters

Baking with Aliens

Time Expectations

We have begun “time” in math. Students will be learning to do the following:

• Reading time using analogue clocks to the nearest five minutes
• Representing time in 12-hour notation (i.e. digital time 4:10)
• Solving problems involving the relationship between min and hrs, hrs and days, days and weeks, weeks and years (i.e. How many days in a week? How many minutes in 2 hours?)

Here are some websites for extra practice:

Money Expectations

We are moving into our Money Unit and the following expectations are the Gr. 3 goals for this topic.

• I can represent and describe relationships between coins and bills up to $10
• I can estimate, count, and represent the value of a collection of coins and bills up to $10
• I can add and subtract money amounts to make purchases or change up to $10
• I can solve word problems applying the skills above

Try to have your child look at prices when you are grocery shopping, online shopping, or running errands.  Have them round to the nearest dollar and estimate what the total cost will be.  When paying for something, have your child help count out the change or estimate how much change you will get from the cashier.  You can also try the following online games:
