Tonight’s Goal:
To help you support your child’s math needs at homeSlide3
Our Plan for Tonight:Games (How do games help your kids?)
Word Problems (How can you help your child with these frightening beasts?)
Using the Success Criteria &
Exemplary SolutionsSlide4
Why play games?
Games provide multisensory support.
Example: Cards are tactile, pattern-based
Extra Repetition:
Facts present themselves repeatedly in games
Variety: Allows the Same Thing to Look New
Students can learn facts without getting bored;
dice, domino and card games can be adapted in
multiple waysSlide5
How can you help at home?
Play games in the car (basic math facts, drills)
Do sorting activities
(
clothing, socks, cutlery, etc
.)
Bake
or Cook together (measuring, fractions, procedural reading
)
Board gamesSlide6

An example of a “Beastly” word problem:
(note our connection to social studies; problems done in class generally have some cross-curricular connection or a relevant topic to students
)
When the Early Settlers arrived in Canada from Europe, they were taught how to fish the Canadian waters by the First Nations Peoples.
Some of settlers would wake up at 5:30 a.m. and fish until 8:30
a.m
They would catch about 4 fish each hour. How many fish would they catch each day, and how long did they spend fishing? How many fish would they catch in a week?Slide8
Accountable Talk
When solving word problems, students are often grouped into partnerships.
We want our students to put these steps into practice whether working with a partner or are his/her own:
Read and think about the problem a minimum of two times.
Simplify the problem. (Highlight key numbers, Draw a box around key words, Underline the question.)
Represent the problem using illustrations/ pictures.
Show all calculations.
Explain their solution using math language.
(Include an explanation of the strategy, RAS and vocabulary used in class. Example: Multiplication; words like array, repeated addition, product, etc.)Slide9
Website Reminder:Just a reminder that the gr.3 teachers have a website filled with relevant material we cover in class, activities, and educational websites for literacy and numeracy.
