Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
- Basic fact fluency is the foundation for problem
solving in mathematics.
- Coordinate grid systems give us graphic
representations of data.
- Estimation strategies help us determine reasonableness of answers in
problem solving.
Essential Questions
are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer
after completing learning activities.
- How do basic mathematics facts help us solve
problems?
- Explain coordinate grid systems and their importance
in mathematics.
- How does estimation help us determine reasonableness
of answers?
CSAP
Tested Standards
Highest Frequency
 High
Frequency
 Other
Standards and E-Skills
Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and
level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these
skills will must be demonstrated in multiple test items on CSAP at
this grade level.
High
Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of
accountability is high because mastery of these skills will be
tested at this grade level.
Other
Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are
not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can
experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive
towards mastery. |

Parents
Consider helping your third grader prepare for fourth grade mathematics by
doing these fun, no-cost activities together. As you cut up pizzas or pans
of brownies, help your child understand 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/8. If children
experience fractions in food, they will understand! Use the phone book or
other local maps to help your child understand coordinate grids. On a trip,
have your child serve as navigator. Give your child practice with the words
of estimation by using words like near, close to, about, approximately. Your
student will understand ball-park figures and if answers are reasonable or
unrealistic. Having your child work with you determining area for home
projects will help reinforce multiplication facts in arrays. Allowing your
child to add and subtract amounts of money will support work with decimals
and fractions. You have a great deal of opportunity to build your child's
mathematical strength that will serve him/her well in middle school and
beyond. Thank you!
