Math in Real-Life Situations

Introduction: Welcome to third grade mathematics with me, your instructor, Ms. Kaighin. We are going to be learning about how to do addition and subtraction within different real-life situations. Throughout this course, we will be exploring diverse ways to add and subtract numbers through videos, lessons, chats, discussions, as well as assignments. There will be many activities, games, worksheets, and other fun stuff thrown your way throughout this lesson, if you have any questions I have written below how you can contact me. You can contact me anytime throughout the lessons, but I am only available to respond during the times listed below unless you write *Emergency Question* in the subject text of the email you are sending me. Otherwise expect me to reply during these scheduled times.

Content:

Mathematics Standards:

  1. N.FL.03.06: Add and subtract fluently two numbers through 999 with regrouping and through 9,999 without regrouping.

  2. N.FL.03.07: Estimate the sum and difference of two numbers with three digits (sums   up to 1,000), and judge reasonableness of estimates.

  3.  N.FL.03.08: Use mental strategies to fluently add and subtract two-digit numbers.

Technology Standards:

  1. 3-5.CC.1: Use digital communication tools (e.g., e-mail, wikis, blogs, IM, chat rooms, videoconferencing, Moodle, Blackboard) and online resources for group learning projects.

  2. 3-5.RI.2: Use digital tools to find, organize, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information.

Learning Goals & Objectives:

  1. Students will be able to estimate the sum and difference of numbers from several types of problems (Story problems, number problems, etc.).

  2. Students will be able to add and subtract money amounts in their heads as well as on paper.

  3. Students will understand how to use technology to communicate with others in the class about the topics at hand.

  4. Students will be able to estimate addition and subtraction numbers in multiple ways (mental math, substitution, regrouping, etc.)
