Unit 3 of Inquiry : Math, English, Inquiry - Going Further, Reflecting and Demonstrating

This week,  Year 3 learned about:

MATHS

1. Number Facts game

The students learned to use maths language such as : odd/even, more/less than, between...and... etc. Students must think carefully and sort all the clues needed. Besides playing mentally in oral ways, we also played it mentally in written. So students were given a number and within 30 seconds they must be able to write 4 facts about that numbers.

2. Catch the Number game

This math game is to develop the mental math of the students. So, teacher mention a clue e.g catch the odd number between 11 - 20 then after that, teacher will randomly mention any numbers between 11-20 and when the odd number is mentioned, they must catch it by clapping hands (like catching something), the questions are varied like catch the number from multiplication 6, etc.

3. Solving 1 and 2 steps word problems

In groups and individually students must solve word problems. They were given a stack of questions that they can chose to solve first. We also continue the math workbook practice.

4. BarGraphs

In the class, as a group they must find any school appliances that using electricity/batteries. Then they list down and draw bar graphs. At home, they also do the similar activities.
