Data Management Unit Test: Study Guide

Grade 3: Data Management Study Guide

Test Date: Jan 29 2016 (Friday)

Students should have an understanding of the following concepts:

• Read data which has been organized in different ways (i.e. pictographs, bar graphs, tally charts, circle graph)
• Pose and answer questions regarding data (i.e. which choice is the most common? How many students were surveyed altogether?)
• Interpret results by comparing and using full sentences

(i.e. There are 2 less students who like the colour blue than the colour red. There        are 4 more students whose favourite food is pizza than pasta.)

• Identify the mode (the value that shows up most often in a set of data)?

• Create a bar graph and a pictograph
• Choose an appropriate scale for a bar graph (i.e. if the data is: 5, 10, 30, 45, 23…the scale most appropriate to use would be counting by 5.)

*Remember:

* A pictograph has a key (showing the symbol), but a bar graph does not because it has a scale (the numbers on the side).

* A bar graph must have: a title, a labelled horizontal axis, a labelled vertical axis and an appropriate scale!

*Some important vocabulary that students can use to communicate their thinking:

  More than, Less than, Most common/most popular, Altogether

Math: Measurement Unit Test Study Guide

Grade 3 Time and Temperature Study Guide

Test Date: Thursday, January 14th

Students should have an understanding of the following concepts:

- determine the relationship between days, weeks, and months on a calendar (i.e. if today is May 7th, it will be June 7th in one month)

- telling time on an analogue clock

- showing time on a blank analogue clock

- relating time on an analogue clock and digital clock

- using phrases such as, "quarter after or past", "quarter to", and "half past"

- elapsed time (i.e. if my soccer game starts at 5:00 pm and ends at 6:15 pm, how much time has elapsed?)

- identify benchmarks for temperature (i.e. water boils at 100 degrees C, water freezes at 0 degrees C, room temperature is approximately 21 degrees C)

- describe how changes in temperature affect everyday experiences (i.e. if it -20 degrees outside I should wear...)

- reading and recording temperature from a thermometer (i.e. we begin at zero and either read it going up or down)

- Problem solving questions

Math Unit Test: Place Value

Grade 3: Place Value Study Guide

Test Date: _November 12th 2015______________________

Students should have an understanding of the following:

• Composing and decomposing 3-digit numbers (i.e. 456 is 4 hundred, 5 tens, 6 ones... 5 hundreds, 7 tens and 9 ones is 579)
• Standard name: 389; Base ten name: 3 hundreds, 8 tens, 9 ones
• Showing numbers in different ways (i.e. 45 can be shown as 4 tens and 5 ones or 3 tens and 15 ones)
• Comparing numbers (i.e. 57 > 40... Read as: 57 is greater than 40)
• Rounding numbers to the nearest ten or hundred (i.e. Round 678 to the nearest ten: 680)
• Show numbers using an exact amount of block (e.g., show 235 using exactly 19 blocks)

*For extra practice students can visit abcya.com and play the games under the “Numbers” section

The value of making mistakes

We watched following video clips during our Math class. We discussed the idea about how we learn from our own mistakes. :)
