In Grade 3, instructional time focuses on four critical areas:
(1) developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100;
(2) developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1);
(3) developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area; and
(4) describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.

In 2017, SPS began using Bridges in Mathematics, 2nd edition from The Math Learning Center, as our primary resource for elementary mathematics.
As shared on the MLC website, " The curriculum focuses on developing students’ deep understandings of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and ability to solve complex and novel problems. Bridges blends direct instruction, structured investigation, and open exploration. It taps into the intelligence and strengths of all students by presenting material that is as linguistically, visually, and kinesthetically rich as it is mathematically powerful." For family resources, including unit overviews and additional games and links, please see the Math Learning Center Family Support website. Select your student's grade level. |
