Glen Ridge Public Schools –Mathematics Curriculum Course Title: MATHEMATICS Subject: Mathematics Grade Level: 3 Duration: 36 Weeks Prerequisite: NA Elective or Required: NA Mathematics Mission Statement Since Mathematical and Computational thinking are an integral part of our lives and 21st Century learning, students must be actively involved in their mathematics education with problem solving being an essential part of the curriculum.? The mathematics and computer science curricula will emphasize thinking skills through a balance of computation, intuition, common sense, logic, analysis and technology.? ? Students will be engaged and challenged in a developmentally appropriate, student-centered learning environment. Students will communicate mathematical ideas effectively and apply those ideas by using manipulatives, computational skills, mathematical models and technology in order to solve practical problems.? ? To achieve these goals, students will be taught a standards-based curriculum that is aligned with the National Common Core Standards in Mathematics and the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards in Technology and 21st Century Life and Careers. Course Description: The Everyday Math program for third grade provides in-depth instructional lessons that focus on the following content stands: number and numeration, operations and computation, data and chance, measurement and reference frames, geometry, and patterns, functions, and algebra. Students are expected to demonstrate automaticity with multiplication facts through 10x10 by the end of the course. Each unit is comprised of different techniques to help students attain the skills needed to gain that automaticity. Students are guided through a hands-on approach and introduced to a variety of strategies used to assist in learning facts, solving problems, and becoming critical thinkers. Games are an important tool used in the program to reinforce skills being taught in ea
