Grade 3: Social Studies: Heritage and Identity: Communities in Canada 1780-1850

For the next while we will be learning about early communities within Ontario. We will explore and compare the way of life of different indigenous groups (Metis, Anishinabe, Kahnawake). We will also explore the different early settler communities (Scottish, French and British settlers and the Black settlers from the south).

Dear Parent/Caregiver:

Your child will be learning how to measure length, area, perimeter, time, and temperature.
They will estimate and compare lengths in centimetres and metres, and they will learn how long a kilometre is. They will also estimate, measure, and compare perimeters. They will tell time on digital and analog clocks and read thermometers.

Throughout this time, you and your child can do some activities such as:

 • Your child can determine his or her age and the ages of family members in years, months, and days.

• Your child can determine the number of weeks and days between family birthdays or other special days throughout the year.

• Your child can estimate and measure various lengths (for example, the height of the refrigerator or another appliance, the perimeter of your living room, or the distance from your house to the street).

• You and your child could use an outdoor thermometer to read the daily temperature and record the information on a chart.

You may want to visit the Nelson Web site at www.mathk8.nelson.com for more suggestions to help your child learn mathematics and for books that relate children’s literature to area and grids. Also check the Web site for links to other sites that provide online tutorials, math problems, and brainteasers.
