Module 2

Lesson 12

Standard(s):.3.NR.1.3 Use place value understanding to round whole numbers up to 1000 to the nearest 10 or 100.

LT: We are learning to round numbers within 1,000. 

SC: I can identify my rules for rounding up.

I can identify my rules for rounding down.

I can round a number to the nearest 100.

I can use a number line to support rounding. 

Lesson/Activity: Module 2 Lesson  12

Students round to the nearest ten or hundred to estimate sums and differences.  They analyze the precision of an estimate resulting from rounding to the nearest ten compared to an estimate resulting from rounding to the nearest hundred.  TOPIC B QUIZ

Standard:S3E2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on how fossils provide evidence of past organisms. a. Construct an argument from observations of fossils (authentic or reproductions) to communicate how they serve as evidence of past organisms and the environments in which they lived. b. Develop a model to describe the sequence and conditions required for an organism to become fossilized. 

LT: We are learning how fossils are evidence of past organisms and their environments.

SC:  I will know I’m successful when I can…

  • Observe fossils to gather evidence of past organisms.

  • I can make predictions of an organism's environment based on other fossils present.

  • I can describe past environments by observing fossils from that time and place.

Module 2

Lesson 13

Standard(s): 3.PAR.2.1 Fluently add and subtract within 1000 to solve problems.
3.MDR.5.1 Ask questions and answer them based on gathered information, observations, and appropriate graphical displays to solve problems relevant to everyday life.

LT: We are learning to solve everyday problems by asking questions and gathering information. 

SC: I can ask a question that requires data collection.

I can gather data and/or information to answer my question.

I can make observations to answer my question.

I can use graphical displays to represent my gathered information.

I can solve everyday questions based on my gathered data.

Lesson/Activity: Module 2 Lesson 13

Students read data from scaled bar graphs with a variety of scales.  They collect data, determine an appropriate scale, and create a scaled bar graph to represent the data.  They solve problems based on the data represented in their graphs.

Standard:S3E2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on how fossils provide evidence of past organisms. a. Construct an argument from observations of fossils (authentic or reproductions) to communicate how they serve as evidence of past organisms and the environments in which they lived. b.

Watch and discuss the EXPLORATION section of the video (10 min).  Mystery Science VIDEO

Discuss: How do you think scientists figure out what dinosaurs looked like?


Wednesday

Module 2

Lesson 14




Standard(s): 3.PAR.2.1 Fluently add and subtract within 1000 to solve problems.

LT: We are learning to fluently add and subtract within 1,000. 

SC: I can use more than one strategy to solve addition and subtraction problems accurately and efficiently.

Lesson/Activity: Module 2 Lesson 14

Students use place value understanding to add and subtract mentally.  Unit form is used to support composing and decomposing like units.  Students record and explain their thinking with models, (number bonds & the arrow way).

Standard:S3E2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on how fossils provide evidence of past organisms. a. Construct an argument from observations of fossils (authentic or reproductions) to communicate how they serve as evidence of past organisms and the environments in which they lived. b.

Module 2

Lesson 15


Standard(s): 3.PAR.2.1 Fluently add and subtract within 1000 to solve problems.

LT: We are learning to fluently add and subtract within 1,000. 

SC: I can use more than one strategy to solve addition and subtraction problems accurately and efficiently.

Lesson/Activity: Module 2 Lesson 15

Students simplify addition problems by using the  make the next ten strategy or the make the next hundred strategy to build capacity for mental addition.  Students study the digits in problems and evaluate when this strategy is useful. (Associative property)

Standard:S3E2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on how fossils provide evidence of past organisms. a. Construct an argument from observations of fossils (authentic or reproductions) to communicate how they serve as evidence of past organisms and the environments in which they lived. b.
