Lesson Plan

This package includes instructions and templates for a collection of math kits, aimed at the Grade 3 level. Each kit includes math manipulatives, everyday objects, and instructions for use. This allows kits to be taken home for use with parents, in order to strengthen students’ understanding of difficult concepts. Kits are designed to stimulate the interest and learning of students with many learning styles. The activities in each kit address math concepts and skills across the strands and support the achievement of the expectations in the Ontario Curriculum. Although each kit is designed for use at the Grade 3 level, many contain activities of varying difficulty, and therefore can be used as additional support within other grade levels. Each kit contains a self-check component, enabling students or pairs of students to complete activities correctly with minimal assistance. These kits will allow students to continuously consolidate their knowledge throughout the school year, strengthen their understanding of learned concepts and enable them to perform new tasks with greater understanding and precision. They will also allow teachers to work with students in small groups or one-on-one to improve upon any challenges students may encounter.
