Math
Each week we are going to be having a math “snapshot”. This is a snapshot of what we have been learning about in math during the week. We will have the snapshot on Friday and it will be sent home for you to see what your child needs to work on for the week. During our Free Time Friday, I will work 1:1 with students to catch them up on the concepts they are missing by the end of the week. Getting in the habit of checking the snapshot weekly gives families a chance to talk about the math we are learning at school.

How to Support your Child at Home
Here are a variety of tools built into our Grade 3 math program to support your child’s success in math:
▪Visit our textbook online for a variety of activities at www.nelsonk8math.com
▪Visit Khan Academy for short tutorials on a variety of curriculum topics at www.khanacademy.org
▪Play math games and activities at www.hoodamath.com and www.mathsisfun.com
▪Practice EQAO multiple choice and problem-solving at www.eqao.com
▪Ask your child about what he/ she is learning in math each day. Ask for your child to share examples of his learning.
▪Encourage your child to use the many “home” resources available to support his/her learning, such as conversations with family members, computer technology, print workbooks , and board games.
▪Enlist your child’s help when solving real world math problems that involve estimating, calculating, measuring, planning and reasoning.
