In your child's agenda you will see that we wrote that the math test would be on Tuesday, the 14th. Please be advised that there has been a change. Due to the holiday weekend, the test has been rescheduled for Wednesday the 15th. The test is on Data Management and Graphing. In class we have been learning about tally charts, pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. Students should know the differences between each kind of graph. They also need to know how to draw a pictograph and an accurate bar graph.
A pictograph needs: 1. A title
2. Pictures
3. A key to tell how many items each picture represents.
4. Pictures should all be the same and should be neat.
A bar graph needs: 1. A horizontal and vertical axis.
2. A title.
3. Numbers with an appropriate scale.
4. Numbers go on or beside the lines.
5. Labels.
6. Bars coloured carefully.
If your child wants extra practice, there are a number of math games on the internet. You can do a basic search for grade 3 graphing and data management skills or you can go to one of the math links that are displayed on our blog (scroll down on the right hand side).
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!!
