Logicus Math Grade 3 Honors, formulated with a blend of Russian and Singaporean pedagogical methodologies, provides an enriched and challenging platform for budding mathematicians displaying advanced aptitude. The course amplifies students' understanding of mathematical concepts, sharpens their logical reasoning, expands their problem-solving skills, and fosters abstract thinking using the Concrete, Pictorial, and Abstract (CPA) approach. This curriculum will unfold as follows: Advanced Algebraic Equations : Building on their introduction to algebra in the second grade, students will now progress to more complex equations, diving into the core aspects of algebra. They will begin to manipulate variables, coefficients, and constants, deepening their understanding of balance and equality. An emphasis will be placed on the principle that altering one side of an equation necessitates a corresponding change on the other to maintain equilibrium. Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills : Our students will refine their proficiency in thinking skills and problem-solving heuristics through multifaceted and demanding activities. This will include concepts such as Make an Organized List, Work Backwards, Logical Reasoning, and Break it Down - strategies that foster not just mathematical comprehension but also critical thinking. Advanced Addition and Subtraction : Building on the second-grade foundation, students will delve into more intricate addition and subtraction problems, incorporating both visualization and mental arithmetic techniques. A strong emphasis will be placed on understanding multiple strategies for solving problems and selecting the most efficient method. Multiplication and Division : Going beyond basic concepts, students will explore Multiplication as Comparison, Division as Comparison, Array Model, and the Distributive Property of Multiplication. They'll gain deeper insights into these operations, setting the foundation for future exploration of fractions and ratios. Geometry : Third-grade students will delve deeper into the world of geometric figures, honing their ability to visualize, identify, and construct shapes. There will be an emphasis on spatial relationships and transformations, echoing Russian Math's focus on geometric intuition and proof-based reasoning. Further Exploration of Patterns : Students will unravel more complex number and shape patterns, exploring their application to algebraic operations, further solidifying their understanding of mathematical relationships and how they can be represented algebraically. Equations and Real-World Application : Building on their basic operations in equations, students will now work with equations involving multiplication and division. They'll become proficient in formulating and solving equations from real-world problems, learning to apply mathematics as a tool for creative problem-solving. This advanced program includes a 90-minute class each week throughout the academic year. For any inquiries, please reach out to us at info@logicus.school or 914-243-1431.
