Math III

Description

This is a class for students who have thoroughly mastered addition and subtraction of numbers to 1000 using the vertical algorithm as well as using mental calculation strategies; have deep knowledge of place value; know multiplication table up to 10 and related division facts, (up to 5 is a must); have a basic understanding of fractions; can solve simple multi-step word problems including problems which involve multiplication and division. We will continue with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and long division by a one-digit number, paying special attention to mental calculation, standard units of length, weight, and capacity in the metric and customary systems, the relationships among units, and addition and subtraction of compound units. We will also cover fractions including equivalent fractions, addition and subtraction of fractions with like and unlike denominators, money, time and time intervals, and other units of time. Geometry moves from the basic shapes to the different parts of geometric objects - points, lines, and angles. Throughout the year we will be solving more complex word problems involving multiplication, division, fractions, area, and perimeter. Finally, we will be solving many non-routine word problems and puzzles from different areas of mathematics.
