Number of Learners in Class: 3 - 10
Length of Class: 30 minutes
Type of Class: 10 weeks
Welcome to Math Grade 3 - our full-year program consists of three separate terms and two options for live weekly meetings.
Option 1: One live online meeting per week and includes curriculum. Each term is billed individually based on the number of weeks and will require individual enrolment.
Option 2: We also offer a second live weekly option for families wishing for additional math support. This option provides a second live online meeting weekly. This second meeting with the instructor helps ensure learners have ample time to practice and master concepts and allows for more in-depth exploration of material and testing (testing is optional to all families but only available with the second live meeting option). These secondary days must also be enrolled each term separately.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The main goals of mathematics education are to prepare students to:
- Use mathematics confidently to solve problems
- Communicate and reason mathematically
- Commit themselves to lifelong learning
This live online, instructor-led math class will help your learner thrive in mathematics this year. The course includes all curriculum (meets or exceeds all provincial curricular standards). Learners will attend live online instruction and be given homework completely throughout the week. The class will include marked assignments, projects, and an end-of-term written summary to assist in documenting learner understanding—families wishing to have learners complete testing will need to also enrol in the twice-weekly option.

Fraction concepts:
· Fractions are numbers that represent an amount or quantity.
· Fractions can represent parts of a region, set, or linear model.
· Fraction parts are equal shares or equal-sized portions of a whole or unit.
· Provide opportunities to explore and create fractions with concrete materials.
· recording pictorial representations of fraction models and connecting to symbolic notation
· equal partitioning
· equal sharing, pole ratios as visual parts, medicine wheel, seasons
Equations:
· start unknown (e.g., n + 15 = 20 or □ + 15 + 20)
· change unknown ( e.g., 12 + n = 20 or 12 + □ = 20)
· result unknown (e.g., 6 + 13 = n or 6 + 13 = □)
· investigating even and odd numbers
Standard units:
· linear measurements, using standard units (e.g., centimetre, metre, kilometre)
· capacity measurements, using standard units (e.g., millilitre, litre)
· Introduce concepts of perimeter, area, and circumference (the distance around); use of formula and pi to calculate not intended — the focus is on
the concepts.
· area measurement, using square units (standard and non-standard)
· mass measurements, using standard units (e.g., gram, kilogram)
· estimation of measurements, using standard referents (e.g., If this cup holds 100 millilitres, about how much does this jug hold?)
Time:
· understanding concepts of time (e.g., second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year)
· understanding the relationships between units of time
· Telling time is not expected at this level.
· estimating time, using environmental references and natural daily/seasonal cycles, temperatures based on weather systems, traditional calendar
Times are in (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)
