ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS - Week 2 Lesson 1: Verbs and Verb Tenses Learning Objective: Students will be able to identify the three major simple verbs tenses by deciding if a sentence is written in past, present, or future tense. English Language Arts Standard:

• 3.L.1.e: Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. Form and use the simple verb tenses (e.g., I walked; I walk; I will walk).

________________________________________________________________________________ Directions: First, review the information on verb tenses. Then, decide if each sentence is written in

past, present or future.

Verb Tenses tell us WHEN an action is taking place!

There are 3 main verb tenses:

Past: An action that already took place. Usually, you add to the end of the verb -ed

Present: An action that is happening right now. We use the base form of the verb and add -s for singular nouns/pronouns

Future An action that is going to happen Add the word will in front of the base of the verb

________________________________________________________________________________ Practice! Decide if each sentence is written in past, present or future tense. 1. They climbed that hill easily. _________past__________________________________________

2. We will travel to Europe next summer. ________________________________________________

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS - Week 2 Lesson 2: Pronouns Learning Objective: Students will be able to correctly use pronouns in sentences by replacing nouns with the corresponding pronoun. English Language Arts Standard:

• 3.L.1.a: Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. Explain the function of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in general and their functions in particular sentences.

________________________________________________________________________________ Directions: First, review the information on pronouns. Then, replace the underlined noun in each

sentence with a pronoun.

Practice! Replace the underlined noun in each sentence with a pronoun. 1. Elizabeth came downstairs to answer the door. ________________she_____________________

2. Frank gave a hand to his brother, and they fixed the bike together. _________________________

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS - Week 2 Lesson 3: Compare and Contrast Characters Learning Objective: Students will be able to compare and contrast characters by noticing similarities and differences between details in a passage. English Language Arts Standard:

• 3.RL.3: Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.

________________________________________________________________________________ Directions: First, review what it means to compare and contrast. Then, read the passage “Town

Mouse and Country Mouse”. Finally, answer the compare and contrast questions at the end of the

story.

When we compare two things, we tell how they are alike.

When we contrast two things, we tell how they are different.

________________________________________________________________________________ As you read this story, think about how the characters are similar and different.

Town Mouse and Country Mouse There once was a Town Mouse who went on a visit to his cousin in the country. Country

Mouse led a busy life, keeping up with all his chores. But he loved his town cousin and gave him a

hearty welcome. All he had to offer for a meal were bread and cheese that he had carefully collected

from the farmhouse floor, and a jug of water that he brought in each day from the creek down the hill.

It was not a feast, but he offered it freely.

Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country food, and said, "I cannot

understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this. But of course, you cannot

expect anything better in the country. Come with me, and I will show you how to live. When you have

been in town a week, you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life."

And so, the two mice set off for the town and arrived at Town Mouse's home late at night.

"You will want something to eat after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and he

took his friend into the grand dining room. There for the taking, they found what was left of a fine feast

Page 8: Distance Learning Packet Week 2€¦ · 3rd GRADE Distance Learning Packet Week 2 . 1 Table of Contents ... and a jug of water that he brought in each day from the creek down the

upon the table, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all sorts of other

wonderful foods.

“It is always like this here,” said Town Mouse. “I don’t have to work for my food at all!”

Suddenly they heard growling and barking.

"What is that?" cried Country Mouse.

"It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other.

"Only!" said Country Mouse. "I do not like that kind of music at my dinner."

Just at that moment the door flew open, and in came two huge black dogs, growling and

snarling. The two mice had to scamper down and run off. They had no time to take any of the

delicious foods with them, and Town Mouse had no food or water nicely stored away in his home.

"Goodbye, Cousin," said Country Mouse.

"What! going so soon?" said the other.

"Yes," said Country Mouse. “I would much rather have bread and cheese in peace than jellies

and cakes in fear!”

Read each detail from the story. Circle which character (or characters) it best describes.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS - Week 2 Lesson 4: Comparing Adjectives with “-er” and “-est” Learning Objective: Students will be able to use the correct comparative or superlative adjective form by deciding how many things are being compared in a sentence. English Language Arts Standard:

• 3.L.1.g: Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. Form and use comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs, and choose between them depending on what is to be modified.

________________________________________________________________________________ Directions: First, review the information on “-er” and “-est”. Then, choose the correct form of the

adjective to complete each sentence.

Practice! Choose the correct form of the adjective to complete each sentence. 1. Bernadette is the ________________tallest_______________ girl in her class. (tall, taller, tallest)

2. Nathan is ___________________________________________ than Erik. (short, shorter, shortest)

3. Your dog is the _______________________________________ of the bunch. (fast, faster, fastest)

4. The kittens are even ________________________________ than their mother (cute, cuter, cutest)

5. This is the __________________________ race I have ever participated in. (long, longer, longest)

6. My tree house is ______________________________________ than yours. (big, bigger, biggest)

7. Your sister is the _____________________________ girl in the pageant. (pretty, prettier, prettiest)

8. Mark is the __________________________________ boy in the house. (happy, happier, happiest)

9. You are the __________________________________________ player I know. (fair, fairer, fairest)

10. Your cat is _____________________________________ than mine. (cuddly, cuddlier, cuddliest)

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS - Week 2 Lesson 5: Cause and Effect Learning Objective: Students will be able to identify cause and effect relationships in a passage by noticing details about why things happen and determining what happens as a result. English Language Arts Standard:

• 3.RL.3: Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.

________________________________________________________________________________ Directions: First, review the information on cause and effect. Then, read the passage “The Magpie’s

Nest”. Finally, answer the questions that follow.

Cause and effect are about how one thing can cause something else to happen.

The cause is why something happened.

The effect is what happens as a result. ________________________________________________________________________________ Here is a story about why birds build their nests differently. Think about cause and effect as you read.

The Magpie’s Nest Of all the birds in the air, the magpie builds the very best nest. Long ago, all the birds came to

Magpie and asked her to teach them how to build nests. So Magpie got them all together and began

to show them how to do it.

First, she took some mud and patted it into the shape of a pancake. “Ah ha!” said Thrush, and

away she flew. So Thrush still builds her nest out of mud.

Then Magpie arranged some twigs around in the mud. “Well of course,” said Owl, and away

she flew. Owls have never made better nests than that.

Magpie turned the edges of the pancake up into a bowl shape, and put more twigs around the

outside. “What a good idea!” said Sparrow, and Sparrow makes messy nests to this day. And so it

went on.

Page 12: Distance Learning Packet Week 2€¦ · 3rd GRADE Distance Learning Packet Week 2 . 1 Table of Contents ... and a jug of water that he brought in each day from the creek down the

11

Each bird took away some knowledge of how to build nests, but none of them waited to the

end. Finally, only silly Turtle-dove was left, and she hadn’t been paying any attention all along. She

had just been sitting there saying her silly cry. “Take two, take two-o-o-o. Take two, take two-o-o.”

Magpie was adding the last twig to her lovely nest. “Take two, take two-o-o” cried Turtle-dove. Magpie

looked at Turtle-dove. “One’s enough,” she said. But the Turtle-dove kept on saying, “Take two, take

two-o-o.”

Then Magpie got angry. “One’s enough, I tell you.” Still Turtle-dove repeated, “Take two, take

two-o-o. Take two, take two-o-o.” At last, Magpie got even angrier. No one but silly Turtle-dove was

left to see her lovely nest that she had worked so long to build. She flew away to find some worms,

and refused to show the birds how to build a nest again. And that is why different birds build their

nests differently.

Practice! Circle the effect that best matches what happened in the passage.

MATHEMATICS - Week 2 Lesson 1: Subtraction Review Learning Objective: The students will be able to subtract two numbers and then use addition to check the answer. Use addition and subtraction fact families to write addition and subtraction facts. Explain how to check subtraction facts. The students will solve the ten lesson practice problems with 80% accuracy. Math Standard:

• 3.NBT.A.2: Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Directions: First, review the lesson below on subtraction. Then, complete the “Lesson Practice”

problems.

Vocabulary:

Subtract: to take away a smaller amount away from a larger amount

Example: to take away 2 from 6, subtract: 6 - 2 = 4

When you write a subtraction sentence, write the larger number first.

Difference: the answer to a subtraction problem

Example: 6 - 2 = 4, 4 is the difference

Expression: a number, a letter, or a combination of numbers and letters. Expressions usually

contain one or more operation symbols

Examples: 3, a, 3 + a, 4 x 5, 4n

Equation: a number sentence that states that two expressions are equal. An equation always

includes an equal sign.

Example: 3 + 5 = 8

Fact family: a group of three numbers that can be arranged to form four facts.

Example: The numbers 2, 4, and 6 form an addition and subtraction fact family.

2 + 4 = 6, 4 + 2 = 6, 6 - 2 = 4, 6 - 4 = 2

Page 15: Distance Learning Packet Week 2€¦ · 3rd GRADE Distance Learning Packet Week 2 . 1 Table of Contents ... and a jug of water that he brought in each day from the creek down the

14

Example 1: Write a subtraction sentence. We can write a subtraction sentence vertically (up and down) or horizontally (side to side).

Example 2: Checking subtraction. We can check a subtraction answer by adding the difference to the number subtracted. This is like

doing the problem backwards. The sum of the addition should equal the starting number.

The order of numbers matters in subtraction. The expression 6-2 means “take two away from six.”

This isn’t the same as 2-6 which means “take 6 away from 2.”

Addition and subtraction are opposite operations, so we can use addition to check subtraction and

use subtraction to check addition. When operations are opposite, one operation undoes the other.

Use subtraction to check 6 + 8 =14.

14 - 6 = 8 or 14 - 8 = 6

Page 16: Distance Learning Packet Week 2€¦ · 3rd GRADE Distance Learning Packet Week 2 . 1 Table of Contents ... and a jug of water that he brought in each day from the creek down the

15

Example 3: Write a fact family. The numbers 3, 5, and 8 form and addition and subtraction fact family. Write two addition facts and

two subtraction facts using these three numbers.

We can write a fact family using three numbers because addition and subtraction are related

operations.

● Thinking question: How can write a fact family for 9, 9, and 18? ● Answer: 9 + 9 = 18, 18 - 9 = 9 ● Since 9 + 9 = 18 and 18 - 9 = 9 are doubles facts, we only need to write each fact one time.

Lesson Practice Directions: Subtract. Then check your answer by adding.

a. 6 - 3 = ______ check: _____ + _____ = _____

b. 5 - 2 = ______ check: _____ + _____ = _____

c. 14 - 7 = _____ check: _____ + _____ = _____

d. 12 - 5 = _____ check: _____ + _____ = _____

e. 17 - 9 = _____ check: _____ + _____ = _____

f. 13 - 4 = _____ check: _____ + _____ = _____

MATHEMATICS - Week 2 Lesson 2: Subtraction With Regrouping Learning Objective: The students will be able to use the subtraction algorithm to find the sum of two-digit numbers with regrouping. The students will use money manipulatives to subtract numbers that involve regrouping. The students will solve the ten lesson practice problems with 80% accuracy. Math Standard:

• 3.NBT.A.2: Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Directions: First, review the lesson below on subtraction with regrouping. Then, complete the

“Lesson Practice” problems.

● Thinking Skill: Why are 5 tens and 3 ones the same as 4 tens and 13 ones?

● Answer: 5 tens and 3 ones is the same as 50 + 3 = 53. 4 tens and 13 ones is the same as 40

+ 13. 13 is the same as 10 + 3. We can think of 4 tens and 13 ones as 40 + 10 + 3 = 53.

Example 2 Santino has $56. He spent $29 on repairing his bike. How much money did he have left?

● How much is left means to subtract.

● When we write a subtraction sentence, write the larger number on top. Underneath write the

smaller number. Line up the ones place and the tens place.

● We understand that $56 means 5 tens and 6 ones. We understand that $29 means 2 tens and

9 ones.

● When we subtract, we start with the ones place. If I have 6 ones, I can’t take away 9 ones. I

need to regroup.

● To regroup, I go to tens place. I’m going to trade 5 tens for 10 ones. I take the 10 ones and

add them to the 6 ones I already have. Now I have 4 tens and 16 ones.

5 tens 6 ones → 4 tens 16 ones

● Now I can subtract. Subtract the ones first. 16 ones - 9 ones = 7 ones.

● Now subtract the tens. 4 tens - 2 tens = 2 tens.

● 2 tens and 7 ones = 27

● $56 - $29 = $27

● Thinking Skill: How can I check my answer? ● Answer: We can add to check the answer. Add $27 and $29.

Lesson Examples

Example 1: Christopher has 56 blocks. He buys 8 more blocks. How many blocks does Christopher

have altogether?

● Step 1: Read It: What is the problem about?

○ It’s about Christopher buying blocks.

● Step 2: Reread It: What is the problem asking? ○ It’s asking how many blocks Christopher has altogether.

● Step 3: Plan It: What is the best way to solve this problem? ○ I need to look for keywords that tell me how to solve the problem.

○ The problem says he bought more. That tells me my answer needs to be bigger than

the number he started with.

○ The problem also asks me how many books he has altogether. That tells me to

combine my two numbers.

Step 4: Solve It: What operation should I use? ○ The key word altogether means to add.

○ I need to add 56 and 8.

○ 56 + 8 = 64

○ Write your answer in a sentence. Christopher has 64 books.

● Step 5: Check It: Does my answer make sense? Is my math correct? ○ My answer makes sense. I can estimate my answer. I can round 8 up to 10. 56 + 10 =

66. 66 and 64 are very close.

○ My math is correct. I can use a number line to show that my answer is correct.

Example 2: There are 71 blocks in a box. Dorothy takes 9 blocks out to build a tower. How many

blocks are left in the box?

● Step 1: Read It: What is the problem about? ○ The problem is about taking blocks out of a box.

● Step 2: Reread It: What is the problem asking? ○ It’s asking how many blocks are left.

● Step 3: Plan It: What is the best way to solve this problem? ○ I need to look for keywords that tell me how to solve the problem.

○ The problem says she took blocks out of the box. That means my answer needs to be

less than the number I started with.

○ The problem asks how many books are left. That means I need to take one number

away from the other number.

● Step 4: Solve It: What operation should I use to solve the problem? ○ The keywords how many left mean subtract.

○ I need to subtract 9 from 71.

○ When I write a subtraction number sentence, I write the larger number first. 71 - 9 = 62

○ Write your answer in a sentence. Dorothy has 62 blocks left.

● Step 5: Check It: Does my answer make sense? Is my math correct? ○ My answer makes sense. I can estimate my answer. I can round 9 up to 10. 71 - 10 =

61. 61 is close to 62.

○ My math is correct. I can use a number line to check.

MATHEMATICS - Week 2 Lesson 4: Model Multiplication Learning Objective: The students will be able to use models to write a multiplication expression. They will use repeated addition to write multiplication expressions. They will solve the ten lesson practice problems with 80% accuracy. Math Standard:

• 3.OA.A.1: Interpret products of whole numbers as the total number of objects in equal groups (e.g., interpret 5 x 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each).

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Directions: First, review the lesson below on model multiplication. Then, complete the “Lesson

Practice” problems.

Vocabulary: • Multiplication: the total number of objects when you have equal groups of something

• Models can be used to solve multiplication problems. Models help by showing the number of

groups and number of objects in each group.

Lesson Examples

Example 1: Paige has 4 pencil cases on her desk. There are 8 pencils in each case. How many

pencils does Paige have altogether?

● We can make a model to solve the problem.

● First, we need four pencil cases.

Page 29: Distance Learning Packet Week 2€¦ · 3rd GRADE Distance Learning Packet Week 2 . 1 Table of Contents ... and a jug of water that he brought in each day from the creek down the

28

● Next, we put eight pencils with each pencil case.

● Then we can add the total number of pencils: 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32.

● A faster way is to multiply the number of pencil cases by the number of pencils in each group.

4 x 8 = 32.

Example 2: Multiplication can be used to represent equal groups. When there are groups of objects

that all contain the same number of objects, the number of groups times the number in each group

will tell the total number of objects.

● Write an expression that matches the model.

● There are 5 groups of pumpkins. Each group has 4 pumpkins.

● I can write a multiplication expression to show the total number of pumpkins.

Number of groups x Number in each group 5 groups of pumpkins x 4 pumpkins in each group

5 x 4 = 20

MATHEMATICS - Week 2 Lesson 5: Modeling Division Learning Objective: The students will be able to write a division problem for repeated subtraction problems. They write a division problem based on a model. The students will accurately solve 80% of the lesson practice problems. Math Standard:

• 3.OA.A.2: Interpret whole number quotients of whole numbers (e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each group when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 groups, or as a number of groups when 56 objects are partitioned into equal groups of 8 objects each).

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Directions: First, review the lesson below on modeling division. Then, complete the “Lesson

Practice” problems.

Lesson Examples

Example 1: There are several ways to model division. One way is to think of division as repeated subtraction.

● What division problem is the same as 49 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7?

● Seven is subtracted from 49 seven times.

● The division problem is 49 ÷7.

● When you write a division problem horizontally (sideways), the bigger number is first.

Example 2: What division problem is the same as 64 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8?

● Eight is subtracted from 64 eight times.

● The division problem is 64 ÷8.

34

Example 3: In division, a whole is split into smaller groups of objects.

Models can be used to solve division problems. Models help show a whole split into groups of objects

or objects split into groups.

This model shows 28 blocks total.

The model is split into groups of 7 objects.

There are 4 groups.

This shows 28 ÷ 7 = 4.

Example 4:

This model shows 28 blocks total.

The model is split into 4 groups.

There are 7 objects in each group.

This shows 28 ÷ 4 = 7.

The Bikini Bottom gang has been learning safety rules during science class. Read the paragraphs below to find the broken safety rules and underline each one. How many can you find? SpongeBob, Patrick, and Gary were thrilled when Mr. Krabbs gave their teacher a chemistry

set! Mr. Krabbs warned them to be careful and reminded them to follow the safety rules they had

learned in science class. The teacher passed out the materials and provided each person with an

experiment book. SpongeBob and Gary flipped through the book and decided to test the properties

of a mystery substance. Since the teacher did not tell them to wear the safety goggles, they left them

on the table. SpongeBob lit the Bunsen burner and then reached across the flame to get a test tube

from Gary. In the process, he knocked over a bottle of the mystery substance and a little bit splashed

on Gary. SpongeBob poured some of the substance into a test tube and began to heat it. When it

started to bubble he looked into the test tube to see what was happening and pointed it towards Gary

so he could see. Gary thought it smelled weird so he took a deep whiff of it. He didn’t think it smelled

poisonous and tasted a little bit of the substance. They were worried about running out of time, so

they left the test tube and materials on the table and moved to a different station to try another

experiment. Patrick didn’t want to waste any time reading the directions, so he put on some safety

goggles and picked a couple different substances. He tested them with vinegar (a weak acid) to see

what would happen even though he didn’t have permission to experiment on his own. He noticed that

one of the substances did not do anything, but the other one fizzed. He also mixed two substances

together to see what would happen, but didn’t notice anything. He saw SpongeBob and Gary heating

something in a test tube and decided to do that test. He ran over to that station and knocked over a

couple bottles that SpongeBob had left open. After cleaning up the spills, he read the directions and

found the materials he needed. The only test tube he could find had a small crack in it, but he decided

to use it anyway. He lit the Bunsen burner and used tongs to hold the test tube over the flame. He

forgot to move his notebook away from the flame and almost caught it on fire. Before they could do

another experiment, the bell rang and they rushed to put everything away. Since they didn’t have

much time, Patrick didn’t clean out his test tube before putting it in the cabinet. SpongeBob noticed

that he had a small cut on his finger, but decided he didn’t have time to tell the teacher about it.

Since they were late, they skipped washing their hands and hurried to the next class.
