3rd Grade: Unit 3 (Fraction Representations) What makes our products so unique? Our products are meticulously designed by experts to ensure mastery of the STAAR test, employing a detailed and multifaceted program: Math Vocabulary and Guided Questions: Each unit introduces new math vocabulary and guided questions that can serve as the objective of the day or daily goals for teachers. This approach enhances understanding and application of mathematical concepts and terms, facilitating clearer communication and deeper learning. Unit Year Planning: Our curriculum breaks down each TEK into manageable segments, scaffolding learning for complete mastery. This methodical approach allows students to fully understand each part of the TEK as it is taught throughout the lessons, making the process more straightforward for educators. Daily Spirals: We have structured our math program to ensure continuous review by revisiting all previously taught skills each week, thus ensuring mastery. Normally, by the 7th unit, students are reviewing over 15 skills bi-weekly, covering all material from the first four units. (HIghlight daily spiral by teks. Problem Solving Process: Each unit introduces students to a thought-provoking problem-solving process that stirs curiosity and enhances analytical thinking skills. Problem Solving Questions: Beyond the daily spirals, each lesson features problem-solving questions, also known as Problem of the Day (P.O.D.) questions, that reinforce the previously taught lesson's skills. Vertically Aligned Pre-Assessments: Our approach begins each unit with a succinct pre-assessment that aligns vertically with the new TEKs introduced, enabling focused and effective learning. Guided Practice: Every unit includes guided practice sections designed to effectively teach new TEKs/Skills. These can be utilized alongside our engaging animated instructional videos, enhancing the learning experience. Skill Building/Independent Practice: Lessons are designed to strengthen students’ math skills and problem-solving abilities through word problems, including STAAR 2.0 questions marked by a small star symbol. Homework: We incorporate homework into the lessons to enable students to reinforce the concepts and skills learned in the classroom at home. Games: Each unit contains fun and educational games that reinforce the skills learned in each lesson, making learning enjoyable and effective. Checkpoints: At the end of each lesson, checkpoints feature a writing exercise and a problem-solving question to assess comprehension and consolidate learning. Practice and Unit Assessments: Reflecting the STAAR test's rigor, each unit includes a practice assessment and a comprehensive unit assessment featuring STAAR 2.0 questions. Standards: 3.3A Represent fractions greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using concrete objects/pictorial models, including strip diagrams and number lines. 3.3E Solve problems involving partitioning an object or a set of objects among two or more recipients using pictorial representations of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. 3.3B Determine the corresponding fraction greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 given a specified point on a number line. 3.7A Represent fractions of halves, fourths, and eighths as distances from zero on a number line. 3.3C Explain that the unit fraction 1/b represents the quantity formed by one part of a whole that has been partitioned into b equal parts where b is a non-zero whole number. 3.3D Compose/decompose a fraction a/b with a numerator greater than zero and less than or equal to b as a sum of part 1/b.
