Math update

We are wrapping up fractions this week, and will be moving on to Geometry.  Here are the common core standards for topic 11 - Geometry

Reason with shapes and their attributes.

CCSS.Math.Content.3.G.A.1
Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
CCSS.Math.Content.3.G.A.2
Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area, and describe the area of each part as 1/4 of the area of the shape.
 
There are a lot of vocabulary words associated with this unit. Here is a link to the vocabulary cards with definitions for this unit. 

I am excited to announce that Family Math Night is coming!  We have planned this special night for third, fourth and fifth grade students and their parents for Tuesday, April 15, 2016.  Look for  details on a flyer in with your child's report card.  We hope to see you there!
