Interactive maths activities for Grade 3 children that support practice and consolidation of more advanced mathematical concepts.
The program includes practice in:
Addition and subtraction with larger numbers are developed using similar strategies.
Emphasis is placed both on calculation strategies and on memorizing as many basic facts as possible.
As larger numbers are used, visual representation (drawing the problem) is not always easy.
In many cases, it is helpful to first think about the same problem using smaller numbers.
When working with small numbers, visual representation is initially helpful.
Comparing fractions is first done using shapes and later with rules.
Area is first calculated by counting.
In the case of rectangles, the child is guided through observation to discover which operation can be used to calculate the area.
More complex shapes, where possible, are broken down into rectangles.
Reading time on analogue clocks with minute accuracy.
Converting time between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
Solving problems involving start time, end time and duration.
The exercises adapt automatically, giving more emphasis to concepts where the child has difficulties or less practice.
Many Grade 3 concepts reappear in higher grades, even in secondary school.
For this reason, it is often useful for students to revisit these lessons.
