Third graders have been learning about picture graphs and bar graphs this week. Yesterday, they surveyed each other to create their own picture graph.

Next week, they will have a math assessment on Tuesday, followed by the next math unit. See below for a summary of the next concepts to be covered.

The next unit extends the study of multiplication and division to include all units from 0 to 10, as well as multiples of 10 within 100 (10, 20, 30, etc.). To work with these more challenging numbers, students will rely on strategies such as skip-counting and converting to an easier problem. They then will apply their understanding of all four operations to two-step word problems as well as arithmetic patterns. At the end of the unit students will focus on categorical data, where they draw and solve problems involving
scaled picture graphs and scaled bar graphs, applying their multiplication and division work.
