Norris School District, Third Grade, Barb Bentzinger

Fourth Quarter Objectives

1.  The learner will calculate the perimeter of 2 - dimensional shapes and solve word problems involving perimeter. ( Example : Sue wanted a fence around her garden.  The garden measures 12 feet in length and 8 feet in width.  What is the perimeter of Sue's garden or how much fence will she need to go around her garden?)

2.  The learner will recognize and identify the following 3-dimensional shapes: cube, rectangular prism, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, cone.

3.  The learner will be able to apply the following measurements when working with length, weight, and volume: centimeter, meter (length), milliliter, liter (capacity), gram, kilogram (weight).   (Example:  Circle the sensible answer.  The capacity of a can of pop is 355 mL or 355 L)

4.  The learner will be able to apply the following measurements when working with length, weight, and volume: inch, feet, yard (length), cup, pint, quart, gallon (capacity), ounce, pound (weight).   (Example:  Circle the sensible answer.  The length  of a pencil is 7 inches or 7 feet.

5.  The learner will read, write, and illustrate fractional parts of a whole and a set.

6.  The learner will identify congruent, similar, or symmetrical figures.  (Definitions:  Congruent figures are the same size and the same shape.  Similar figures are the same shape but not necessarily the same size.  Symmetrical figures can be folded on a line of symmetry with both halves being identical.)
