THIS WEEK IN MATH:
We will continue
Data Analysis. Then we will begin reviewing skills from the year. Your child will be learning:
·
that organizing data
in a frequency table makes it easier to see patterns in data.
·
a dot plot organizes
data on a number line and is useful for visually showing how data is
distributed.
·
pictographs and bar
graphs make it easy to compare data.
·
the key for a pictograph
determines the number of pictures needed to represent each number in a set of
data.
·
the scale in a bar
graph determines how long the bar needs to be to represent each number in a set
of data.
For examples of the
types of graphs we will be using, see the parent letter that is being sent home
with your child on Wednesday of this week. Please see the new resources listed
below to support your child’s mastery of these skills.
Math Resources to Help at Home
Data Analysis
Creating
& Interpreting Pictographs - Step-by-step interactive video by StudyJams.com demonstrates how to
create a pictograph. Includes practice problems!
CK12:
Bar Graphs - In this concept,
students interpret bar graphs and fill in missing parts of bar graphs using
given facts.
CK12:
Pictographs - learn to interpret
mathematical relationships shown in pictographs and solve problems using
pictograph data.
STAAR Review
IXL Math
Practice – Has online practice questions for all TEKS in third grade math.
Test Prep
Review – Practice Questions over various math objectives
FREE Apps
THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE:
In science this week, we will continue our Unit on Organisms
and Ecosystems. We will continue discussing and viewing different ecosystems
and their characteristics. We will present our Environment Research Project
in class on Tuesday, April 24. Throughout
this unit, we will be looking at:
●
different soils and
their impact on the growth of a plant;
●
investigating how
plants undergo a series of orderly changes;
●
compare soils for
their ability to grow plants;
●
the certain
characteristics of an environment that help organisms survive;
●
all of an organism’s
needs and how they are met by its habitat;
●
describing the
physical characteristics of an ecosystem
Environment Research projects are due Tuesday, April 24. We used class time Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday this past week to work on projects. Anything that was not finished has been
sent home for completion. Students will need to bring their project type they
chose (brochure, poster or diorama), research notes or their final draft of
research notes, their checklist and attached rubric, and their citation page
that is on a separate piece of paper.
Requirements, rubrics, citation examples, and
vocabulary words were sent home last Thursday, April 12. Additional copies of
these, as well as suggested websites, can be found on the Environment Research
Project post on our class
blog page.
NASA's Climate Kids - Plants &
Animals – Read these 10 interesting things about ecosystems
that are found all over the world! Navigate through the different activities on
the plants and animals page to learn about a slew of other topics!
PBS Kids Nature Games – Navigate through
the different nature games on PBS Kids. The kids have been shown where to find
this link to PBS Kids on our class blog page and how to find our embedded
Symbaloo.
BrainPOP Plants – View the different videos on plants, such as
parts of a plant, plant adaptations, and plant life cycles. Play games or do
activities that correspond with each video.
More websites and links can be found on our class
blog page on our Symbaloo. This is embedded on the Technology Station page.
Thank you so much for your dedication to helping your child learn.
