NB Francophone G3 Math · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000)

  • Read, write, and name whole numbers to 1000 in French and in numerals, including numbers written in words with hyphens and the conjunctions et and cent.

  • Decompose any three-digit number into hundreds, tens, and ones and rebuild it from a decomposition (for example 472 = 400 + 70 + 2).

  • Compare and order sets of numbers to 1000 using the symbols <, >, and = and justify each comparison by place value.

  • Locate numbers on an empty number line and estimate a number's position between two labelled benchmarks.

Your checkpoint

A one-page reference sheet of 20 self-made numbers to 1000, each written in words, decomposed, and placed correctly on a hand-drawn number line, with three comparison statements per number.

Week 2

Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000) & Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts)

  • Add and subtract three-digit numbers with and without regrouping, showing the regrouping explicitly in written work.

  • Apply mental math strategies (making ten, making a hundred, compensating, counting on) to sums and differences within 1000 without written calculation.

  • Explain multiplication as repeated addition and as an array, and division as sharing and as grouping, using concrete or drawn models.

  • Solve two-step word problems involving addition and subtraction and state which operation each step required.

Your checkpoint

A worked problem set of 15 items (10 computation, 5 two-step word problems) with every regrouping and every mental strategy annotated in the margin.

Week 3

Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts) & Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000)

  • Recall multiplication facts to 5 x 5 and the related division facts fluently within a timed set.

  • Represent a multiplication or division situation with an equation and a diagram, and match a given diagram to its equation.

  • Estimate sums and differences to 1000 by rounding to the nearest ten or hundred before computing, then check the exact answer against the estimate.

  • Identify and correct errors in worked multi-digit computation, naming the place-value misunderstanding behind each error.

Your checkpoint

A timed facts log (three sessions of 20 facts, with scores and dates) plus a corrected error-analysis sheet of five deliberately flawed computations.

Week 4

Fractions and Decimals (halves, thirds, fourths, tenths; comparing simple fractions; relating fractions to decimals) & Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000)

  • Name, read, and write halves, thirds, fourths, and tenths as fractions of a whole and of a set, using correct French fraction vocabulary.

  • Compare two simple fractions with the same denominator or the same numerator and justify the comparison with a drawing or a benchmark such as one half.

  • Convert between tenths written as fractions and as decimals (for example 3/10 = 0,3) and place both forms on the same number line.

  • Recognise equivalent simple fractions such as 1/2 = 2/4 = 5/10 using folded paper or shading.

Your checkpoint

A fraction-and-decimal card set of 12 cards, each showing a fraction, its decimal equivalent where applicable, a shaded diagram, and its position on a number line, with three written comparison statements.

Week 5

Patterns and Algebra (repeating and growing patterns, pattern rules, simple equations and unknowns) & Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts)

  • Extend a repeating pattern by at least three terms and state its repeating unit in words.

  • Determine the rule of a growing pattern (for example add 4 each time) and predict a far term without listing every term.

  • Solve simple equations with an unknown represented by a symbol or letter, such as 7 + n = 15, and verify the solution by substitution.

  • Translate a one-step word problem into an equation with an unknown and solve it.

Your checkpoint

A pattern-and-equation portfolio of six items: two repeating patterns, two growing patterns with rules and a far-term prediction, and two solved and verified equations.

Week 6

Measurement (length, mass, capacity, time, temperature; choosing units and tools; perimeter) & Geometry (2-D shapes and 3-D objects, attributes, symmetry, position and movement)

  • Choose an appropriate unit and measuring tool for a given length, mass, capacity, time, or temperature task and justify the choice.

  • Measure lengths to the nearest centimetre and calculate the perimeter of rectangles and simple rectilinear shapes.

  • Identify and describe 2-D shapes and 3-D objects by their attributes (number of sides, faces, edges, vertices) and sort them by two attributes at once.

  • Identify lines of symmetry in shapes and describe position and movement using directional language and grid steps.

Your checkpoint

A measurement-and-geometry lab sheet: five real objects measured with units and tools named, two perimeter calculations with diagrams, and a sorting chart of eight shapes by two attributes plus marked lines of symmetry.

Week 7

Data Management and Probability (collecting, organizing, and interpreting data; simple graphs; likelihood of events) & Measurement (length, mass, capacity, time, temperature; choosing units and tools; perimeter)

  • Collect data from a simple survey or tally and organise it into a frequency table.

  • Read and construct a pictograph and a bar graph with labelled axes and an appropriate scale, and answer interpretation questions from them.

  • Describe the likelihood of events using a consistent scale from impossible through certain, and justify each judgement.

  • Read time to the nearest five minutes and temperature to the nearest degree on a given scale, and solve a simple elapsed-time problem.

Your checkpoint

A one-page data report: a tally table, a bar graph built from your own collected data, four interpretation questions with answers, and six events ranked on an impossible-to-certain scale with justifications.

Week 8

Problem Solving and Mathematical Reasoning (applying concepts in context, explaining strategies and solutions) & Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000) & Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts) & Fractions and Decimals (halves, thirds, fourths, tenths; comparing simple fractions; relating fractions to decimals)

  • Solve mixed multi-step problems drawn from all domains and write a sentence explaining the strategy chosen for each.

  • Show and explain work clearly enough that another person could follow the reasoning without asking questions.

  • Complete a full-length timed practice set under exam conditions and record which domain each lost mark came from.

  • Re-teach the two weakest domains from the error log using a self-made summary and three fresh practice items each.

Your checkpoint

A full timed practice set with a completed error log by domain, plus two one-page self-made review sheets for the weakest domains and six new practice items with worked solutions.

Milestones

Week 2: Without notes, decompose and compare five three-digit numbers correctly, and complete ten three-digit addition and subtraction items with at least 8 of 10 correct.

Week 4: Score at least 18 of 20 on a mixed set covering place value, multi-digit computation, and simple fractions and decimals, and correctly convert five tenths between fraction and decimal form.

Week 6: State the rule for two unseen growing patterns and predict a far term, solve three equations with an unknown and verify each, and choose the correct unit and tool for five measurement scenarios.

Week 8: Complete the timed practice set, score at least 80 percent overall with no domain below 60 percent, and submit the completed error log with two self-made review sheets.
