Mathematics
Reading rectangular arrays to determine the matching multiplication fact and repeated addition sentences.
The Manitoba curriculum views 7 key processes as essential for "learning, doing and understanding mathematics". To recognize and use mathematics throughout our lives, these processes help build a knowledge of mathematics which goes beyond rote learning.
These key processes are:
Communication (representing, viewing, writing about, listening to, and discussing mathematical ideas) Connections (between mathematical stands, in other subject areas, and in authentic situations) Mental Math and Estimation (using approximate values and mental strategies to develop efficient, flexible and accurate use of mathematics throughout life) Problem Solving (Develop the ability to ask questions and choose from strategies to solve problems in different and creative ways) Reasoning (generalizing patterns, conjecturing, validating and proving in order to justify their thinking) Technology (use technology as a tool to support and enhance learning as well as encourage student curiosity and discovery) Visualization (connect abstract concepts to concrete images to develop a stronger comprehension of these concepts as useful resources in life.) |
2015 The four mathematics strands in the grade 3 curriculum are as follows:
Number Sense and Operations: - Counting: forward and backwards by 10s and 100s between any two given numbers, by multiples of 5 and 25 to 1000, forward number sequences by 3's and 4's to 100. - Representing: whole numbers to 1000, exploring fractions as part of a whole and exploring them in everyday situations - Operations with whole numbers:two-digit and three-digit addition and subtraction to 1000, mental math strategies and estimation in helping with adding and subtracting two digit numerals and the introduction of multiplication and division to 25, addition and subtraction facts to 18. Patterns and Relations: - describing, extending, comparing and creating increasing and decreasing patterns with a variety of materials including relationships between numerals. - solving addition and subtraction equations involving symbols to represent unknown values. Shape and Space: - Measurement - measurement of length and mass, modelling and describing relationships between units, estimating and recording, perimeter - relating the passage of time to common activities, using time in problem solving situations - 3-D Objects and 2-D shapes, faces, edges, vertices, sort according to the number of sides. Statistics and Probability: - Collection, Organization, and Analysis of data using tally marks, line plots, charts and lists. Constructing, labelling, and interpreting bar graphs in problem solving. |
