Topics range from healthy habits, as well as overcoming obstacles to mystery stories.
Want to make a difference using math? In this course, students have a chance to apply their math skills to do just that. They use math strategies to help with tasks at the Sports Factory that involve addition and subtraction, use multiplication to complete the Amazing Math Race, and use fractions to assist with tasks at the Animal Rescue Center. By the end of this course, students will be comfortable working with fractions, representing data using graphs or charts, and solving one-step and two-step word problems.
The Grade 3 Elementary Science course sparks curiosity in students and build a solid foundation in scientific concepts across various branches of science, including Earth Science, Life Science, and Physical Science. Students engage in science and engineering practices by asking questions, defining problems, developing and using models, planning and conducting investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, using mathematics and information technology, constructing explanations, designing solutions, engaging in scientific arguments based on evidence, and communicating experimental results. A framework that promotes active student learning supports students in engaging, exploring, explaining, elaborating, and evaluating across all courses. This dynamic format helps students build their understanding based on experiences and new ideas to promote a better understanding of the world around them.
The third-grade Social Studies curriculum consists of the following content area strands: American History, Geography, Economics, and Civics. Third-grade students learn about North America and the Caribbean region. They focus on the regions of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands. Their study includes physical and cultural characteristics of our country and its neighbors as they learn about the geographical aspects.
