Grade 3 Maths: Division

Using a very visual demonstracion, we looked at the idea of division. A great way to understand the ideas:



 

Then we used the slides 3 to 8 in the following presentation to look at more examples and the rules of division.

 



Grade 3 Social Studies: The Spanish and the Incas

This week we took a look at the Spanish when they came to Peru and met the Incas and how the two cultures effected each other.

We started by watching a video about the death of Atahualpa:

And the class worked in groups to put together some posters explaining some of the main points about the Incas. 

 

 

 

Grade 3 Maths: Negative numbers

This week we talked about numbers that are less than ZERO!! Here we can use negative numbers.

We took a look at a nice video that explains the idea of why we need negative numbers and how they can be added and subtracted from each other.



 

We can use some of these slide to help us understand too :)

 



Grade 3 Social Studies: Comparing Maps

Now the world is getting smaller and more and more we visit other countries. What can we learn about a place by using maps? Is it just about where things are or can we learn more things?

First we looked at what a globe is and how it too, like a map, can represent the countires and geography of the planet.

 

 

Next we set up a little experiments using the desks in the class to see how we can represent more information about a demographic using different types of maps. 

 

 

Finally we should be able to compare differnet maps to see how differnet information can be put onto different styles of map. 

 

 

Now we won't get lost when researching other countries!!
