Report Card Grading Guidelines 2016-­‐17 ~ Grade 3 Achievement Scale 4 – Standard Exceeded: 95% -­‐ 100% 3 – Standard Met (At Grade Level): 80% -­‐ 94.9% 2 – Standard Nearly Met: 65% – 79.9% 1 – Standard Not Met Yet: 0% – 64.9% * (Not Tested) -­‐ This marking is used only in math for standards that have not yet been taught/covered for that trimester. (If a student meets the standard early in the year, carry the grade across the next two trimesters. If a student does not meet the standard the first time it’s tested, retest in the following trimesters.) Effort Scores: • O – Outstanding (consistently demonstrates) • S – Satisfactory (usually demonstrates) • U – Unsatisfactory (seldom demonstrates) The following should be considered when determining a grade for effort: • Participation: class discussions, group work, partner activities, attention and focus during activities, appropriate responses to student/teacher interactions, homework completion • Quality of work produced: neatness, attention to detail, completeness, grammar and spelling • Perseverance: task initiation, task follow-­‐through, consistency, academic endurance Response to feedback: accepts feedback from others Reading Vocabulary Understands and uses new vocabulary Phonics and Word Recognition Decodes unfamiliar/multisyllabic words •

Chapters *Standards are taught throughout the Go Math! curriculum, but they are primarily addressed in the following chapters. Numbers and Operations in Base 10 Round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 1 Fluently add and subtract within 1,000 1 Geometry Understand and recognize shapes and their attributes 12 Operations and Algebraic Thinking Represent and solve multiplication and division problems 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Fact sorts, color code tests, fact quizzes Problem solving using the 4 operations (OA.8) 1, 3, 4, 7 Numbers and Operations -­‐ Fractions Develop an understanding of fractions as numbers 8 Compare fractions by reasoning about their size 9 Report Card Grading Guidelines 2016-­‐17 ~ Grade 3 Measurement and Data Represent and interpret data 2 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals 10 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units 10 Understand concepts of area and perimeter 11 Any standards not assessed within a certain trimester should receive a * on the report card instead of progress toward standard mark (1, 2, 3, or 4). * = Not Tested. Critical Areas in Math The Common Core specifies critical areas for instructional emphasis at each grade level. The critical areas in math for 3rd grade are as follows: • Developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100. (These are emphasized in Go Math! chapters 3-­‐7.) • Developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions. (This is emphasized in Go Math! chapters 7-­‐9.) • Developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area. (These are emphasized in Go Math! chapter 11.) • Describing and analyzing two-­‐dimensional shapes. (This is emphasized in Go Math! chapter 12.)
