Virtual Learning 3rd Grade Lessons for Week of 5/11- 5/151

5/11 Monday

Math: Multiplication MondayToday, we are focusing on solving 2 step word problems while using expressions. To find the answer, you need to do more than one step or use more than one operation (multiply, add, subtract, divide). Always solve what is in the parenthesis first. Second, multiply/divide in order from left to right. Third, add/subtract in order from left to right. It is as easy as 1, 2, 3. To solve these word problems, you will need to write an expression with a symbol for the unknown. For an example, look at number 1. Complete My Math Pages 545-549 for extra practice or help.

1. Orlon has 48 comic books. He keeps 8 for himself and divides the rest equally among his friends. If each friend gets 8 comic books, how many friends did he give a comic book too? Use F as your unknown friends. Solve for F.

Answer: (48 – 8) ÷ F = 8 (40) ÷ F = 8 40 ÷ 8 = F 40 ÷ 8 = 5 5 = F (F stands for the number of friends)Write an expression with a letter for the unknown. Then solve. Send your answers to your teacher.

2. A bus had 14 passengers. At a stop, 5 people got off and 8 people got on. How many people are on the bus now? Use P as your unknown people. Solve for P.

3. Grandma picked 4 times as many apples as pears. What is the difference in the number of apples and pears picked if she picked 8 pears? Use D as your unknow difference. Solve for D.

Bonus Activity: Play this expression math game https://www.math-play.com/Algebraic-Expressions-Millionaire/algebraic-expressions-millionaire-game.htmlELA: Super Spelling MondayThis week we will be focusing on multi-syllabic words with the “le” sound and diagraphs. Consonant-le syllable always ends with the letters “le”. Many combinations of consonants can blend with -le such as, zle, tle, fle, ble, dle, kle, ple. The two consonants are read together as a blend and then the “e” is always silent. Such as maple, ma-ple or ap-ple. Do not forget that in words such as tackle, you put “ck” because it has a short “a” in front of it.This week’s words are tackle, marbles, cable, sparkles, stumble, purple, candles, simple, puzzles, tablesThis week’s trick words, or exceptions to the rules, are Thursday, Saturday, daughter.1)Practice spelling this week’s words by writing them in a creative way (like shaving crème or chalk) 2) Put the words into an alphabetic order list and mark-up all syllable types (c, o, v-e, d, r, and le) 3)Use the words in a creative sentence. Try writing the sentences in cursive. Use this video to help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHzkAF7ttwA

5/13 Wednesday

Math: Work on New Topic WednesdayToday, we will learn about our new topic of recording data. Data is collected information or facts. You can collect data by taking a survey or asking a lot of people a question. One way to record the data collected is on a frequency table or tally chart. Look at the example below. Watch this video for help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRW67KEONv0

1) If you can, complete pages in the My Math Book 691-695

2) Make your own frequency tables by asking your friends/family different questions. It is best to already pick 4 choices for them to pick from. On your table write down the question at the top, the choices on the left, the tally marks in the middle, and the frequency on the right. Hint: Text or message people your questions so that you can get more answers to put in your table (Do not forget to ask your teacher!)

Possible questions/choices to ask: Favorite Foods (Tacos, pasta, pizza, sushi), Favorite drink (soda, tea, lemonade, coffee), Favorite sport (Soccer, basketball, Volleyball, Football), Favorite animal (dog, cat, bunny, snake), or feel free to make your own unique question!

Hint: If 2 people picked tacos as their favorite food, you would put 2 tally marks and have a frequency of 2 on the chart.

Show your finished chart to your teacher!!!!ELA: Get Going with Grammar Wednesday- Shades of MeaningWatch the following video on shades of meaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_opr0cNoY0wShades of meaning is when some words have very similar meanings, such as synonyms. The words are similar, but one is often stronger than the other. Although the words are similar in meaning, context clues tell us that one word makes more sense than another in the sentence.Complete the following multiple-choice questions by choosing the strongest word choice. Explain why you chose your answer and how you knew that was correct choice.

1. Bennet was ______ and jumped for joy when he hit his first homerun.a. Thrilled

a. Tinyb. Small

3. Wow! You look ____ in that dress.a. Prettyb. Stunning

4. The pizza is ____, so it will only need a few more minutes in the oven.a. Warmb. Hot

Now you will create your own shades of meaning. You will choose one adjective (start with an easy one) then draw an arrow. At the Top of your arrow put your starting adjective. Then divide the arrow into 5 or 6 sections. In each section you will write a word that means the same thing as your adjective but is a “stronger” word. Please see the example below using the starting adjective of ‘big’.

Harker got out her bright blue yarn! She had the students pretend to be different animals in the food web! This activity allowed the students to get up and moving while being involved with their learning. The student’s got excited as they saw the web get bigger and crisscrossed.This was one of Miss Harker’s favorite days because she got to see all her students involved and excited
