Grade 3: August Unit
Big Numbers and Estimation
(@10 days)

Overview                                                               
View the Video introduction. Where do you see numbers?  Think about when you are riding in a car, at the grocery store, or at home. Numbers are all around us, and they have many purposes in our lives. August in third grade focuses on learning critical mathematics skills and includes lessons on number sense, computation, estimation, and geometry. Third graders will experience math activities expressing numbers greater than 1,000 in different ways, and addition and subtraction with larger numbers. Students will read, write, and order numbers identifying place value up to 10,000. They will recognize odd/even numbers to 1,000 and identify money combinations to $1.00.

Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

  • Mathematics is dependent on place value.

  • A sense of number is necessary to communicate the reasoning used in problem solving.

Essential Questions are the most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

  • Why is place value important?

  • What are different ways can you write a number?

  • Why do digits have designated places in larger numbers?

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.

 

Standard 1:  Number Sense - August
Reads, writes, and orders numbers to 10,000 (written form, standard form, expanded form)
Identify place value to 10,000

Parents

Your child is entering the world of larger numbers in third grade. Help your child grasp the concept by pointing out large numbers in the newspaper, on television news, on city population road signs, and video game scores. Discuss how many ones are in a ten, tens are in a hundred, and hundreds are in a thousand, etc. Once your child starts to see the pattern of tens, the concept of larger numbers will become easier. Solving simple word problems that work with addition/subtraction to 18 is a great way to spend driving time together. Make sure you are helping your child develop a sense of reasonableness in the answers you discuss. Does it make sense that the answer would be in the hundreds or thousands? Help your child notice the lines of symmetry (same-shaped halves) in geometric shapes found around the house; the oatmeal box, the heart cookie, the round skillet, the rectangular shoe box lid. It doesn't cost much in effort or expense to support your child in mathematics, however, the creativity and time you use will earn big rewards.

Lesson 1: Count by 2's

Duration: 45 minutes

Materials:
Lessons 1 - 4 Hundred Chart, the number strips used are from Kim Sutton.  Use a red crayon or marker.  A variation of this step is to color the even numbers red on a hundreds chart.
 
Activities

  1. At the end of the lesson, ask students to respond to the following statement in their math journal: Starting with the number 46, explain how to count on by twos. Today, you will listen to the book, Pie for Piglets; Counting by Two's by Michael Dahl.  As you are listening, pay close attention to the patterns you hear in the book.

    1. Did you notice any patterns in the book?

    2.  What did these patterns have in common?

    3. Is there another way you could count by 2's?

  2. Using a hundreds chart and chips, count by 2's starting at two. When finished placing chips on chart, begin with two and touch each chip while saying the number underneath.

  3. Listen to the 2's song on the Skip Counting, Intellitunes CD, by Ron Brown.

  4. On individual number line strips and a red crayon or marker, begin with the number two and color a red dot above each number as you count on by 2's up to 100. Follow teacher instructions to count forward or backward by two when given a certain number. Ask students if there are any other ways to count by 2's.  (i.e. odd numbers also) Teacher model this on overhead or hundreds pocket chart.

  5. Call out random numbers on the hundreds chart and have students count forward and backward by 2's to practice counting by 2's from any number.

  6. Play the 2's song on the Skip Counting, Intellitunes, CD by Ron Brown.

  7. Using the hundreds chart or the number strip, call out a number and ask the students to either count forward by 2's or backward by 2's from that number.  Repeat as needed.

Part A-Explain how to count by 2's.

Part B-Teacher dictates an even or odd number and asks the students to write the next five numbers counting by 2's.

Part C-Teacher dictates an even or odd number and asks the students to write the five previous numbers counting backward by 2's.                      

Differentiation
Support: Hundreds chart, chips, number strips, song, and book are used to support all kinds of learners.  Small group instruction lessons could include using flashcards that count by 2's and have missing numbers.

Extension:  While reading the book, point out patterns for 2's. Remember to point out that counting by 2's isn’t always 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, with even numbers.

45 minutes


Materials:
Lesson 5 Hundreds Wheel

Assessment: Part A-Explain how to count by 100's, Part B-Teacher dictates a number and asks the students to write the next five numbers counting by 100's, Part C-Teacher dictates a number and asks the students to write the five previous numbers counting backward by 100's. Use numbers that aren’t too obvious (i.e. 3,492 rather than 1,200).

Activities

  1. Ask students to count by 100s starting with 100 until they reach 1,000.
    Remember to point out that counting by 100s isn’t always 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500.

  2. Ask students if there are any other ways to count by 100s.  (i.e. It can also be 123, 223, 323, 423, etc.)
    Teacher model this on overhead or hundreds pocket chart.
    Call out random three digit numbers and have students count forward and backward by 100 to practice counting by 100s from any number.

  3. Play the song “Counting by 100” on the Intellitunes Math! Math! Math! CD by Ron Brown.

  4. Use your overhead base ten blocks to make a three digit number.  Model how to add and subtract 100.
    Note how the tens and ones remain the same, but the hundreds change.
    Model how to add 100 to a number with a 9 in the hundreds place (i.e. change the thousands place as well as the hundreds place). Use the term “regrouping” to explain this process.

  5. Distribute base ten blocks to each student.  Give them a three digit number and ask them to model it with their blocks.  Ask them to either add or subtract 100.  Once they have shown the number using their blocks, have them write the sum or difference on their white boards.
    Continue having them practice with blocks as needed.

  6. Assemble Lesson 5 Hundreds Wheel
    Make a copy for each student on cardstock and laminate.
    Have each student cut out their pieces.

    Students practice adding and subtracting 100 using their Hundreds Wheel.
    Dictate numbers to the thousands place.
    Use numbers that have a nine in the hundreds place requiring the students to regroup.

  7. At the end of the lesson, ask students to respond to the following questions in their math journal:
    Explain what happens to a number when you add 100?
    Explain what happens to a number when you subtract 100?
    Explain what happens to the number 2,953 when you add 100?

  8. Count by 100's starting with 100 until you reach 1,000. Is there another way you could count by 100s?
    Listen and sing along to the song, Counting by 100, on the Intellitunes Math! Math! Math! CD by Ron Brown.

  9. When you have a number such as 2,350, and you want to add 100 to it, all you have to do is find the digit in the hundreds place and add one to change the number to 2,450.  If you subtract 100, find the digit in the hundreds place and subtract one to change the number to 2,250.

  10. Use base ten blocks to model the numbers your teacher dictates.  Practice adding and subtracting 100 from the given numbers using your base ten blocks.  Write the sums and differences on your white board.

Lesson 7: Even or Odd
Duration:
45 minutes

At the end of the lesson, ask students to respond to the following statement in their math journal:
Assessment:
Students respond to the prompt, "What the different outcomes when we add even numbers and when we add odd numbers?

Activities

  1. Justify (or explain) why 35 is not an even number.
    What is the outcome when you roll two even numbers?
    What is the outcome when you roll two odd numbers?
    What is the outcome when you roll an even and an odd number?
    Describe the similarities of the numbers on the left side.
    What is another 2-digit number that would fit the pattern on the left side?

  2. Describe the similarities of the numbers on the right side.
    What is another 2-digit number that would fit the pattern on the right side?

  3. Use the book, Even Steven and Odd Todd by Kathryn Cristaoldi, to help you give a name to each set of numbers on the board.

  4. Say chant: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 who do we appreciate?  EVEN NUMBERS EVEN NUMBERS ALRIGHT EVEN NUMBERS!
    Listen to the songs “Even or Odd” and “Add ‘em Up!” on the Math Concepts I & II Intellitunes CD by Ron Brown.

    Play Even/Odd game.  
    Using a 10-sided double die and the Even/Odd Outcome sheet, roll the die and find the sum of the two digits. Write the equation in the correct section on the sheet. After about five minutes, analyze your results. What do you notice about the sums of the equations in each section? Do you notice any patterns? How can this information help you when you add numbers.

  5. Assessment Prompt: Give each student 1 index card.  Ask students to write “even” on one side of the index card and “odd” on the other side.  Teacher calls out numbers and students hold up either the odd or even side of the index card depending on the number given.  (Teacher, use assessment checklist that is attached.)  Have students explain what the different outcomes are when they add even numbers and when they add odd numbers.
    On a separate sheet of paper, explain what the outcomes are when you add:
                even + even
                odd + odd
                even + odd
     What outcome occurs most often?

Differentiation
Support:
Use hundreds chart as a reference. Using calculator tape, students create their own number line (at least to 20) color coding the odd and even numbers. (i.e. odd numbers are all red and even numbers are all blue) **Hint-odd and red both have three letters, blue and even both have four letters.
Extended Learning: Write random 2-digit odd numbers on the left side of the board and random 2-digit even numbers on the right side of the board.  Ask students what the left side/odd numbers have in common (i.e. digits in the ones place).  Do the same with the right side/even numbers. Show students that the digit in the ones place determines whether or not a number is even or odd.

Tell the students that since they can now determine even and odd numbers you want them to notice something else about even and odd numbers. Give the students the Even/Odd Outcome sheet and one 10-sided double die. Have them roll the die and add the two numbers. The students will write the equation in the correct section on their sheet. After doing this activity for about 5 minutes, ask the students to analyze their results. What do they notice about the sums of the equations in each section? Are there any patterns? How can this information help you when you are adding numbers?

Lesson 9: Names for Numbers
Duration:
45 minutes

Assessment:  At the beginning of the lesson, ask students to write all the ways they can think of to write the number 25 in their math journal.  At the end of the lesson, ask students to add to their list all the ways they can think of to write the number 25.

Activities

  1. Read the book 12 Ways to Get 11 by Eve Merriam. As you read the book, have the students write down all the ways to make eleven. Do this as a whole group. Some students may need assistance thinking beyond addition and subtraction.Other forms of numbers are tally marks, expanded notation, fractions, number form, word form, multiplication, division, multi-step process, etc. Continue with other numbers as needed. Give assistance where needed.

  2. For transition into step five, use student errors to show non-examples. Show students cards that have examples and non-examples of the given number. Model and explain how to differentiate between what is an example and what is a non-example.

  3. Place 4-5 stations around the room with a 2-digit number on each paper. Draw a horizontal line in the middle of the paper. Students will write examples on the top half and non-examples on the bottom half. Divide the students into 4-5 groups and have them rotate around the room adding an example and non-example to each station. When finished, do a gallery walk and discuss the students’ work.

  4. Play the song “Number Game” on the Intellitunes Mighty Math Songs CD by Ron Brown.

  5. Assessment: Give students a 2-digit number (avoid multiples of 10 and 25, 50, and 75) and an index card.  Each student will write at least three examples on the front (label this side as examples) and at least two non-examples on the back (label this side as non-examples).

Practice place value to the ten thousands place.
Display a five digit number and ask them to identify digits in different places.
State the place and have students identify the digit in that place.
Students may use white boards, math journals, or discuss oral responses with a partner.
Use the songs “Place Value” song and “Place Value Rap” CD Math Concepts I and II by Ron Brown to help students learn their place value.
Using the pocket chart students created and their digit cards, dictate numbers to the ten thousands place. Students will then use their digit cards to create the dictated number in their pocket charts.
Display a five digit number and ask them to identify digits in different places.
State the place and have students identify the digit in that place.
Students may use white boards, math journals, or discuss oral responses with a partner.
Play Place Value Bingo. Each student receives a copy of the game board and they write any digit 0-9 in each blank until the card is full. Either roll the die to make 5-digit numbers or dictate 5-digit numbers. If a digit from the number matches one of the place values, the students have on their Bingo card, they get to cover that square. Only one space may be covered for each 5-digit number. Ask the students to write the 5-digit number in the box for easier checking.

Activities

  1. This mystery number has 4 digits. Every digit is an odd number. None of the digits is a 7. Every digit in the number is different. The greatest digit is in the thousands place. The smallest digit is in the ones place. The digit in the hundreds place is smaller than the digit in the tens place. What is the mystery number?

  2. This mystery number has 4 digits. If you add one to this number it will be a 5 digit number. What is the mystery number?

  3. I am a four digit number. I have a one in my thousands place, and a two in my hundreds place. I am a palindrome. (A palindrome reads the same, forwards and backwards. The words “pop” and “level” are palindromes. The numbers “747" and “842248" are palindromes.) What number am I?

  4. I’m a five digit number. Four of my digits are zeros. I am the greatest number possible with those characteristics. What number am I?
