Moving Forward in Math
In math we will be starting to review and learn concepts related to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We will first focus on addition and subtraction and then move on to multiplication and division in the near future. Below are the Alberta curricular outcomes that are related to these operations. Practicing these concepts at home will ensure your student is getting plenty of practice and will boost their confidence with mental math questions.
Grade 3
- I can apply estimation strategies to predict sums and differences of two 2-digit numerals in a problem-solving context.
- I can demonstrate an understanding of addition and subtraction of numbers with answers to 1000 (limited to 1-, 2- and 3-digit numerals), concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
- I can apply mental math strategies in order to understand and recall basic addition facts and related subtraction facts to 18.
- I can demonstrate an understanding of multiplication to 5 × 5
- I can demonstrate an understanding of division (related to multiplication facts up to 5 × 5)
