Mathematics
Number Corner for March: The March Calendar Grid features telling time to the hour and half-hour on both digital and analog clocks, and students explore elapsed time as they determine the time between each marker. Coins return to the Calendar Collector, and students practice counting mixed sets of dimes, nickels, and pennies to determine their total value. This month they review strategies for solving equations within 20 and learn how to “think ten” when adding numbers with sums greater than 10. The Number Line and Days in School workouts both introduce students to numbers beyond 100.
Bridges Unit 4 Module 4: The mathematical focus of Module 4 is measurement, comparing and ordering two-digit numbers, writing inequality statements, finding differences, and working on a number line. In the context of a pretend trip to Antarctica, students get their heights measured for snowsuits and graph the results. The class records height and other data for two types of penguins: the rockhopper and the king. Students make measuring strips and strings and use them to order and compare the numbers and find differences.
Social Studies
We will continue our unit on American Symbols. Students will learn about symbols on stamps, the Liberty Bell, the Bald Eagle, Landmarks as symbols, The White House, Mt. Rushmore, The American Flag, and the Statue of Liberty.
