- GRADE 3: 8-WEEK LEARNING CALENDAR
Building strong foundations and flexible mathematical thinking.
This parent-facing calendar provides the primary focus for each week. Instruction may be adjusted based on pre-assessment data and student needs while remaining grade-appropriate.
| Week | Learning Focus | What Students Will Practice |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Number Sense & Place Value | Read, represent, compare, compose and decompose whole numbers; use place value to reason about quantities. |
| 2 | Addition, Subtraction & Problem Solving | Use efficient strategies to solve and justify one-step and multi-step problems with whole numbers. |
| 3 | Multiplication Concepts & Fluency | Connect equal groups, arrays and repeated reasoning to multiplication; build fact fluency and strategy use. |
| 4 | Division & Multiplication Connections | Interpret division, connect multiplication and division facts, and solve contextual problems. Midpoint progress update. |
| 5 | Fractions & Number Relationships | Represent, compare and reason about fractions using models and number relationships. |
| 6 | Measurement, Area & Perimeter | Apply measurement ideas and solve meaningful area, perimeter, time and measurement problems. |
| 7 | Geometry, Data & Patterns | Classify and compose shapes; interpret data displays; identify, extend and explain numerical patterns. |
| 8 | Apply, Connect & Show Growth | Integrate number, computation, fractions and problem solving through rich tasks; complete post-assessment. |
Ongoing every week: mathematical vocabulary, explaining thinking, strategy selection, problem solving, productive struggle, and confidence-building.
