Dear
Parents,
Here is a snapshot of our learning this week in math and science.
THIS WEEK IN MATH:
In math
this week we are continuing our study of multiplication and division and
focusing on problem solving using multiplication facts to solve division
problems. Students will use these multiplication and division skills to solve
one and two step word problems. We will
be working on input output tables with multiplication and division
relationships as well.
Here are
some resources that were previously sent home in take home folders. Hopefully the clickable links will prove to
be easier to use.

Division Math Practice – In this drag racing game, your
child can practice division facts while racing against the computer or other
players.
Students in
third grade must master their multiplication facts with automaticity. This means they are to recall these facts
quickly. Each Tuesday, we have a two
minute test over the facts we have studied for the previous week. A note was sent home before the break to
explain this. Tomorrow’s timed
multiplication test will be over 0s, 1s, and 2s through the twelfth
multiple.
Some great
websites to practice multiplication facts are:
www.thatquiz.org - Under Integers,
click Arithmetic. Adjust length, level,
and time as needed. Click the box for
multiplication to let your child practice their facts.
www.multiplication.com – Lots of free and entertaining
games to practice multiplication facts.
http://educationgalaxy.com – Use the skills practice section
for math to practice multiplication facts.
THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE:
In science this week, we
are learning about mixtures and solutions.
We will also be reviewing states of matter as well as physical
properties to describe matter. Your
child will be participating in lab investigations to help them learn this
content during a hands on experience.
Science Resources to Help at Home
http://educationgalaxy.com – On the top right, have your child go up one level on
the drop down menu. Then go to My Study
Plan and choose science. Practice
Properties of Matter and Mixtures & Solutions.
Ready Hub
– Go to Flocabulary and watch the Mixtures and Compounds video that has been
assigned. This is above level, but your
child is welcome to practice the questions and read and respond if they would
like to further their understanding.
Discovery Education
– There is a large supply of video, interactive learning, questions, and an
interactive glossary for vocabulary that is always helpful for whatever we are
learning in science. All content in this
resource is searchable.
Thank you so much for your
dedication to helping your child learn.
