By the end of Stage 3 a
learner has a solid understanding of place value, and performs the basic operations with
ease.
At this stage, a learner:
Place Value
- counts forward and backward by ls, 2s, 5s, 10s, 25s and 100s to and from 1,000
- understands concept of place value to 3 digits (i.e. can explain that the digit
"5" in the number 259 is worth "50" and in the number 598 it is worth
"500")
- using manipulatives such Base Ten Blocks, is able to physically represent
numbers 1 to 1,000, and vice versa
- is able to read, write and show and understanding of numbers in written form (one,
two..) from 0~500
- orders and compares numbers (greater than, less than, equal to) 1-1,000
Patterns and Groups
- recognizes and creates complex patterns
- recognizes, creates and labels groups of items (sets, and intersections of sets)
- is able to read and create a moderately complex graph
Operations
- can perform multi-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping borrowing and carrying
- can perform single and double digit multiplication and division
- can perform addition and subtraction with fractions and decimals
- understands ratio and percentages
Temperature
Money
- counts large quantities of money
- makes change from $20
Time and Calendar
- can identify periods of time (eg. in a word problem "I arrived at the bus stop at
5:35 and the bus arrived at 6:00, how long did 1 wait?")
- knows words such as "decade" and "century' can identify and associate
certain events and seasons with their corresponding months (e.g. Valentines Day is in
February)
Measurement
- can use and understand odometer in car
Calculator
Metacognitive Strategies
- uses memory
- explains concept to another student
- checks understanding of problem
- refers to similar problems done in the past in order to help solve a current problem
