Finding Differences on a Number Grid
Family Note Today your child reviewed patterns on the number grid and used them to find differences between numbers. For example, one way to find the difference between 87 and 115 on the number grid is: Start at 87. Count the number of tens to 107. There are 2 tens, or 20. Count the number of ones from 107 to 115. There are 8 ones, or 8. The difference between 87 and 107 is 2 tens and 8 ones, or 28. Formal subtraction methods will be covered in the next unit.
Use the number grid to help you solve the following problems.
Question 1.
The difference between 83 and 109 is _______ .
Answer:
Question 2.
The difference between 97 and 125 is _______.
Answer:
Question 3.
Explain how you solved Problem 2.
Answer:
I solved the problem 2 by using the number grid.

Telling Time
Family Note Today your child explored some of the math tools commonly used in third grade. We reviewed how to read a ruler to the nearest inch and centimeter, and how to tell time to the nearest hour, half hour, and 5 minutes. Help your child read each time by paying attention to the position of both the hour and the minute hands.
Question 1.
Draw the hour hand and the minute hand to show the time right now. Write the time.
Answer:
Explanation:
Clock is divided into 12 parts and each part is equal to 5 minutes.
Clock have 2 hands. Short hand is called the hour hand and the longer hand is called the minute hand.
As u can see in the image
Short hand is pointed between 5 and 6 represents 5
and the Long hand is pointing to 8. 8 × 5 = 40.
So, the time on the clock is “5:40 o’clock”.
Write the time shown.

Rounding Numbers
Family Note Today your child used open number lines ( see Example) to help round numbers to the nearest 10 and to the nearest 100. Rounding is one way to estimate calculations. For example, to estimate 83 − 37, your child can round 83 to 80 and 37 to 40, and then easily subtract 80 − 40 = 40, so an estimated answer for 83 − 37 is about 40. The actual answer, 46, is close to 40. Have your child explain how to use an open number line to round numbers.

Example: What is 72 rounded to the nearest 10? 70
Round each number. Show your work on an open number line.
Question 1.
What is 87 rounded to the nearest 10?
Answer:
Explanation:
The nearest 10 to 87 are 80 and 90.
80 as the lowest 10 and 90 is the highest 10.
85 is the mid point of 80 and 90.
As 87 is above 85.
As the number is above the midpoint the largest is chosen.
87 is rounded to 90.
Question 2.
What is 283 rounded to the nearest 100?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given 283
The nearest 100 to 283 are 200 and 300.
200 as the lowest 100 and 300 is the highest 100.
250 is the mid point of 200 and 300.
As 283 is above 250.
As the number is above the midpoint the largest is chosen.
283 is rounded to 300.
Question 3.
Round the numbers in the problem below to the nearest 10. You may sketch an open number line to help.
Use the rounded numbers to estimate the answer.
Then solve.
Estimate: ________ + __________ = __________
Is your answer reasonable? Explain.

Telling Time to the Nearest Minute
Family Note Today your child practiced telling time to the nearest minute on analog clocks. Children used familiar times on the hour and half hour to help them read more precise times. For example, in Problem 1 the first clock shows 8:00. Children can use 8:00 as a familiar time to help them read the second clock as 8:06. They start at 8:00 and count by 5s to 8:05 and then 1 more to 8:06. As needed, help your child read and write each time.
Write each time shown. Use the first clock to help you read the time on the second clock.
Question 1.
Answer:
Explanation:
The first clock represent 8 o’clock as long hand on 12 and short hand on 8.
In the second clock the short hand on 8 and the long hand is at 1 cross 1 that is 1 represents 5 minutes and plus 1 makes it 5 + 1 = 6 minutes.
It makes the time 8:06 o’clock.
Question 2.
Answer:
Explanation:
In the first clock the long hand on 6 and short hand between 3 and 4 represent 3:30 o’clock .
In the second clock the short hand between 3 and 4 and the long hand is at 7 cross 4 that is 7 represents
7 × 5 minutes = 35 minutes and plus 4 makes it 35 + 4 = 39 minutes.
It makes the time 3:39 o’clock.
The time is 3:40 o’clock.
Question 3.
Answer:
Explanation:
In the first clock the long hand on 9 and short hand between 1 and 2 represent 1:45 o’clock .
In the second clock the short hand between 1 and 2 and the long hand is at 10 cross 2 that is 10 represents
 10× 5 minutes = 50 minutes and plus 2 makes it 50 + 2 = 52 minutes.
It makes the time 1:52 o’clock.
The time is 1:50 o’clock.
Talk about when you may need to tell time to the nearest minute.

Finding Elapsed Time
Family Note Your child is learning how to use a model, such as a number line or clock, to determine elapsed time. Today we used an open number line like the one shown in the example below to figure out how long a morning class lasts. Have your child explain the example to you.
Example: A swim meet started at 3:45 P.M. and ended at 6:15 P.M. Fill in familiar times on the number line and use it to answer the question.
Ava solved the problem this way:
15 min + 1 hr + 1 hr + 15 min = 2 hrs and 30 min
How long was the swim meet? _ 2__ hours and __30__Â minutes
Question 1.
Explain Ava’s strategy to someone at home.
Answer:
Ava was using number line with the clock values. The starting and ending time of the meet are 3:45 and 6:15.
The starting value is 3:45 and the ending value is 6:15
Ava rounded the starting time 3:45 to the nearest hour 4:00 and then added hours 4 + 1 = 5:00 and 5 + 1 = 6:00 and then add 15 minutes to reach the end point.
Question 2.
How much time do you usually have between the end of school and when you go to bed?

Foundational Multiplication Facts
Family Note Today your child worked on developing strategies for solving 2s, 5s, and 10s multiplication facts. These facts will be used later to help solve related multiplication facts. Fact Triangles are the Everyday Mathematics version of traditional flash cards. They are better tools for building fact fluency and mental-math reflexes, however, because they emphasize fact families.
A fact family is a group of facts made from the same three numbers. For 6, 5, and 30, the multiplication and division fact family is 5 × 6 = 30, 6 × 5 = 30, 30 ÷ 6 = 5, 30 ÷ 5 = 6.
Fact Triangles arrange the three numbers such that the product is below the dot at the top and the factors are in the other two corners.
Use Fact Triangles to practice basic facts with your child. Cut out the triangles from the three attached sheets. Cover either the number below the large dot (the product) or one of the numbers in a corner (a factor).
If your child misses a fact, flash the other two problems and then return to the fact that was missed.
Example: Ravi can’t answer 15 ÷ 3. Flash 3 × 5, and then 15 ÷ 5, and finally 15 ÷ 3 a second time.
Make this activity brief and fun. Spend about 10 minutes each night for the next few weeks, or until your child learns them all. The work you do at home will support the work we are doing at school.
