Curriculum Areas/Learning Outcomes
Math: Concept: Week 3, Fractions are a type of number that can represent quantities.

Concept: Weeks 2 and 3, Regular increases and decreases in patterns can be used to make generalizations.

Social Studies: Concept: People from diverse cultures and societies share some common experiences and aspects of life.

Connection: The unit is mostly based on this concept and the First People's Principle of Learning below. The interconnectedness of all things, combined with the respect for it, is the starting place for generating value. An economy is based on value. As adults we know the complexities around economy, politics, personal value, and business but for your Grade Three child we will keep a focus on the interconnectedness, the diversity, the care of the environment and ‘other’, as well as the necessity of assigning abstract value to things.

Curriculum Overview
The title of the unit is The Wonder of Money, and certainly there will be a focus on counting and playing with money in the second and third weeks of the unit. The first week of the unit will focus on the history of assigning value. You’ll take a look at Indigenous cultures that highlight several themes: the interconnectedness of all things, value, gratitude, responsibility, and care in consumption. In the second week you will begin to build up a picture of how money, as it is today, came into being beginning with self-sufficiency, then hunting and gathering, then trading, then a symbol economy. Your child will begin to build up their counting skills with several types of money in this second week. In the final week of curriculum plans, you will bring in money as it is today in your country. Your child will practice recognizing and counting currency. For Flex Week your child will be invited to create a sale event such as a garage sale, bake sale, lemonade stand, flower stand, etc. where they can bring in all their learning about value and money.
