GRADE 3 MATH CHAPTER 5: Parent and Teacher Guide PDF | Student Text | Student Workbook. This is a separate subject resource in the developing full-year course. Keep completed student work private.
Parent reference. Chapter 5 addresses 2019 Alabama Mathematics, Grade 3: geometry and measurement. Answers to open tasks are indicative; evaluate evidence and reasoning rather than requiring identical wording.
Day 1 Answer Key: Describe Polygons
- 1. A closed straight-sided figure
- 2. No
- 3. 3
- 4. 4
- 5. Triangle with three unequal sides
- 6. No, open
- 7. 5
- 8. Rectangle or square
- 9. No, not all sides equal
- 10. Side and angle properties unchanged
- 11. Valid non-rectangular quadrilateral
- 12. Trapezoid under inclusive/exclusive definition, specify convention
Check for genuine independent understanding. For open tasks, require appropriate evidence. Reteach with an unfamiliar example and assess again.
Day 2 Answer Key: Sort Quadrilaterals
- 1. Four right angles
- 2. Four equal sides
- 3. Yes
- 4. Yes
- 5. No
- 6. Correct drawing
- 7. Rectangle with unequal adjacent lengths
- 8. Rotation alone changes neither angles nor sides
- 9. Opposite sides parallel and equal; opposite angles equal
- 10. Square and rhombus
- 11. Nested definitions
- 12. Opposite sides parallel
Check for genuine independent understanding. For open tasks, require appropriate evidence. Reteach with an unfamiliar example and assess again.
Day 3 Answer Key: Perimeter Problem Solving
- 1. 20 cm
- 2. 30 m
- 3. 32 cm
- 4. 4 cm
- 5. 14 m
- 6. 21 cm
- 7. 22 ft
- 8. Linear units
- 9. Any side pair summing 12
- 10. Area 60 square units, perimeter 32 units
- 11. 10×6 measures area
- 12. For example 10×5 and 9×6
Check for genuine independent understanding. For open tasks, require appropriate evidence. Reteach with an unfamiliar example and assess again.
Day 4 Answer Key: Area with Arrays
- 1. 36 square units
- 2. 36 square units
- 3. 49 square units
- 4. 8
- 5. 15 squares
- 6. Yes, 24
- 7. No: 20 and 22
- 8. 60
- 9. Square units
- 10. Repeated equal rows and columns
- 11. 33 square units
- 12. For example 4×6 and 3×7, both perimeter 20, areas 24 and 21
Check for genuine independent understanding. For open tasks, require appropriate evidence. Reteach with an unfamiliar example and assess again.
Day 5 Answer Key: Geometry and Measurement Assessment
- 1. 6
- 2. Yes
- 3. No
- 4. 30 units
- 5. 44 square units
- 6. 9
- 7. 81 square units
- 8. 9
- 9. Both 32 square units
- 10. 24 versus 36
- 11. Distance around versus surface covered
- 12. (1,8),(2,7),(3,6),(4,5)
Check for genuine independent understanding. For open tasks, require appropriate evidence. Reteach with an unfamiliar example and assess again.
Assessment and Progress Record
Suggested indicators: accurate concept, independent explanation, vocabulary or procedural fluency, and transfer to an unfamiliar example. This chapter alone does not establish year-level mastery. Record results privately.
