Fractions

Geometry and Area

3rd Grade

0A.A.1 interpret products of whole numbers, EG, interpret 5x7 as the total number of objects in five groups of seven objects each. .

NBT.A.3 multiply one digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10 to 90 using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Area and Perimeter

MD.C.5 recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand the concepts of area measurement.

MD.C.6 measure areas by counting unit squares (square centimeters, square meters, square inches, square feet, and improvised units).

MD.C.7 relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.

Fractions

3.NF.1 Number and Operations -- Fractions

Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

The goal here is to memorize the multiplication tables as quickly as possible. Whichever section offers the most resistance that section must be practiced the most. The goal is to also understand real life applications of multiplication and why it is important. Understanding the commutative property is the key to this lesson. reciprocation and reversibility are the functions used here to learn.

Goal 2 - Fractions

To be able to successfully understand the difference between the denominator and the numerator, with their basic functions, and to understand how different fractions can relate to one another.

Goal 3 - Geometry and Area

The goal with learning area and perimeter is to understand the difference and why they are important to know in real life applications. The students will be able to calculate area based on block unit measurements.

Formative assessments through discussions and homework assignments. Small groups and drawing can be used for the 3 lessons as well.

Summative at the end of blocks.
