In math, we are working on Unit 3. We will start off with Geometry. Students will learn how to name and describe plane shapes and solid figures. They will identify solid figures by their faces or flat surfaces, edges, and vertices. They will put shapes together to form new shapes and identify the number of sides and vertices in each shape. They will also cut shapes apart to make new shapes using pattern blocks and geo-boards. Students will identify and create congruent figures that are the same size and shape. Students will learn the different ways to move shapes. They will identify objects that have symmetry and draw lines of symmetry.
Next, we will work on graphing data. Students will learn to create charts and pictographs with given data. They will use the charts and pictographs to read and interpret data. Students will learn about coordinate graphs. They will plot points on the graph and determine the ordered pairs for a given point.
Afterwards, we will work on fractions. Students will learn the Big Ideas of Fractions. Students will recognize, name, represent, and write commonly used fractions. They will place halves on a number line and relate it to a ruler. Students will understand the inverse relationship between the size of a unit fraction and the size of a denominator. They will understand that the size of a unit fraction gets smaller when the denominator gets bigger. Students will also recognize fractions that have the same numerator and denominator are equal to a whole (one).
We will end Unit 3 with time. They will learn how to read time to the 5 minutes. They will learn how to say time in different ways using the terms "after", "before", "quarter to", "quarter past", and "half past". Then, they will learn about elapsed time.
