Third graders add a new marker to the Calendar Grid for each day of the month. Students delve into important mathematics as they identify patterns that emerge in the markers over time. Each month also features a collection of some kind—coins, shapes, cubes, increments of time, experimental data—that students use as a context for gathering and analyzing data using tally marks, frequency tables, graphs, and other displays.
Many days also feature an activity or game for building computational fluency, an activity based on a number line or grid, or a problem string (a carefully arranged sequence of related problems designed to elicit specific computation strategies and insights about number relationships).
