Course Overview

Math 3 B extends students' mathematical understanding by introducing concepts in geometry, measurement, fractions, and data interpretation. Students explore two-dimensional shapes, area, perimeter, and units of time, mass, and capacity while strengthening their ability to reason and communicate mathematically. The course emphasizes both conceptual knowledge and procedural fluency, ensuring students can apply mathematics to authentic, real-world contexts with confidence and precision.

Key Learning Focus

Students will:

• Identify and analyze two-dimensional shapes and their properties.
• Calculate area and perimeter of geometric figures.
• Understand and represent fractions in multiple forms.
• Collect, represent, and interpret data using graphs and charts.
• Apply measurement concepts to time, mass, and capacity.
• Strengthen reasoning, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Instructional Approach

Instruction integrates visual models, hands-on activities, and collaborative problem-solving tasks. Students engage in mathematical discussions, use multiple representations to show their thinking, and make real-world connections to reinforce both understanding and application.

Outcome

By the end of Math 3 B, students will:

• Demonstrate proficiency in identifying shapes, and calculating area and perimeter.
• Represent and apply fractions in problem-solving contexts.
• Interpret and communicate data through graphs and charts.
• Apply measurement concepts to everyday situations involving time, mass, and capacity.
• Be well-prepared to advance to Math 4 A for continued mathematical growth.
