Math Coach
Tues., Fri., every other Wed.kherrm@kyrene.org
Brisas Math Philosophy…
“The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple!”
Mathematical skills used as tools to solve meaningful problemsFlexible thinking and multiple strategies are encouragedTalk, represent, and write about mathWork in pairs, individually, and/or groupsComputers, calculators, cubes, dice, rulers, number cards, pattern blocks,
tiles, paper, pencilScott Foresman-Addison Wesley (SFAW)/ Investigations
Common Core/2010 Arizona State Math Standards
Problem Solving
Embedded in everything we do in our classrooms
Solve, create and write expressions and equations to represent the problem and how they solved the problem
Communicate their problem solving and their strategies
Problem solving assessed on a monthly basis
3rd Grade Computation
Focus on mastery of multiplying and dividing numbers from 0 through 10
6 x 4 = ? (x means “groups of”)
*(direct modeling) **** **** **** **** **** ****
*4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 (repeated addition)
* 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 (skip counting)
* 6 x 2 = 12 and so 12 + 12= 24 or 5 x 4 = 20 and if I add 1 more 4, that’s 24 (derived facts)
*6 x 4 = 24 (fluent, efficient, accurate)
3rd Grade Computation
Addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers up to four digit numbers using multiple strategies should be mastered
1,234 1,000+5,000= 6,000
+5,678 200+600= 800 1 1 30+70= 100
1,234 4+8= 12 +5,678 6, 912
6,912 (algorithm with understanding)
3rd Grade Computation
Focus on understanding of fractions and fraction equivalence. *Benchmark fractions- ⅓, , ,⅔, ⅕ ⅙ ¾, ½
(pizzas, pies, candy bars, pattern blocks)
*Fair Shares- “Amy has 12 pencils. She is going to share the pencils fairly among 3 people. What fraction of the pencils will each person get?”
*Fraction of a set-
Algebra Focus on mastery of solving one step
equations using addition and multiplication.
ex: Joey had 26 papers in his desk. His teacher gave him some more and now he has 100. How many papers did his teacher give him?
26 + n = 100
Focuses on understanding and application of place value. 1, 345 (1,000+ 300+40+5)
*models, pictures, symbols, spoken and written words, and expanded notation.
