Math-We are now learning about Area and Perimeter

Overall Expectations
By the end of Grade 2, students will:
• estimate, measure, and record length, perimeter and area using non-standard units and standard units
• compare, describe, and order objects, using attributes measured in non-standard units and standard units

By the end of Grade 3, students will:
– estimate, measure, and record the perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, through investigation using standard units (Sample problem: Estimate, measure, and record the perimeter of your notebook.)
– estimate, measure (i.e., using centimetre grid paper, arrays), and record area (e.g., if a row of 10 connecting cubes is approximately the width of a book, skip counting
down the cover of the book with the row of cubes [i.e., counting 10, 20, 30, …] is one way to determine the area of the book cover)


Mass and Capacity

In Grade Two students learn to:
– compare and order a collection of objects
by mass and/or capacity, using non-standard
units (e.g.,“The coffee can holds more sand
than the soup can, but the same amount as
the small pail.”)

Grade 3 students begin to learn standard measurement. Look for things with your child in your fridge and cupboards measured in ml/L and g/kg

1 ml=1 drop of water
500 ml=1 water bottle
1 L=jug of orange juice

1 gram= 1 paper clip
1 kg=a bag of sugar

Telling Time

Grade 2 expectations:
– tell and write time to the quarter-hour,
using demonstration digital and analogue
clocks (e.g.,“My clock shows the time
recess will start [10:00], and my friend’s
clock shows the time recess will end
[10:15]”)
– determine, through investigation, the relationship
between days and weeks and
between months and years.

Grade 3 expectations:
– read time using analogue clocks, to the
nearest five minutes, and using digital
clocks (e.g., 1:23 means twenty-three
minutes after one o’clock), and represent
time in 12-hour notation;
– determine, through investigation, the relationship
between days and weeks and
between months and years.
