Differentiation in MathThe 3rd grade team works in conjunction with Mrs. Wise (GT) and Ms. Byrne (sp. ed) to plan and differentiate lessons according to your child's needs.
BEFORE each unit of study, students take a pre-test to show mastery of skills. Students who need more support often work in a small group with more supports in place. Students who have shown strong mastery in the unit's skills, may work on extension projects in or out of the classroom. |
Fact PracticeStudents in 3rd grade are working on conceptual understanding of multiplication and division BEFORE fact fluency. This will set them up for MUCH more success in future years as they move to multiplying fractions, decimals, etc.
Addition and subtraction facts SHOULD be fluent by the time they enter 3rd grade. If your child is still struggling with these, we may ask that you practice these at home. We will NOT be taking timed fact tests of any sort in room 213. |
