Dear Family,
By completing Third Grade Mathematics, your child has accomplished a great deal. Thank you for all of your support!
This Family Letter is here for you to use as a resource throughout this month to review many of the concepts he or she has learned in third grade, we suggest the following activity : Test Prep Grade 3
Mathematics means more when it is rooted in real-life situations.
These activities are for you and your child to do together over the summer vacation. These activities will help your child maintain and build on the skills he or she has learned this year and help prepare him or her for Fourth Grade Mathematics.
1. If you receive a daily newspaper, continue with the length-of-day project by recording
the time of sunrise and sunset once a week. Draw conclusions about the length of a day during vacation months.
2. Over a period of time, have your child record the daily temperatures in the morning and in the evening. Keep track of the findings in chart or graph form. Ask questions about the data—for example, to find the differences in temperatures from morning to evening or from one day to the next.
3. As you are driving in the car or going on walks, search for geometric figures and identify them by name along with some of their characteristics. For example: A stop sign is an octagon, which has eight sides and eight angles; an orange construction cone is a cone, which has one flat surface that is shaped like a circle, a curved surface; a brick is a rectangular prism in which all faces are rectangles.
4. Continue to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. Using short drill sessions with Fact Triangles, fact families, and games helps your child build on previous knowledge.
5. Provide mult idigit addition and subtraction problems for your child to solve; encourage your child to write number stories to go along with the number models

To work with your child on the concepts taught in this unit, try these interesting and rewarding activities:
1. Review multiplication facts on a daily basis.
2. Use the website http://www.learnyourtables.co.uk/ to learn the tables one at a time.
