Grade 3 Artificial Intelligence

Grade 3 Artificial Intelligence

Unit Overview

In the Artificial Intelligence, students will be introduced to basic concepts such as machine learning, algorithms, and automation in a way that is fun and easy to understand. They'll explore how AI can impact our lives, including important topics like fairness, privacy, and the protection of ideas. Through simple activities and discussions, students will begin to understand how AI works and why it’s important to think about the choices we make when using technology.

Cornerstone Task

Cornerstone tasks provide students with an opportunity to create authentic products that are based on standards and connect to real-world careers.  Students will be empowered to create a product of lasting value by engaging in meaningful tasks facilitated by an educator. Each task will provide equity, differentiation, and student choice to allow students to reach milestones for success.

At this time there is not a Cornerstone Task for the Artificial Intelligence Unit.

Intentional Supports For Access and Opportunity for Multilingual Learners

Native Language Supports

At the beginning of the year and with each newly arriving Multilingual Learners (MLs): 

  • Connect with the ELD Teacher/s to obtain and discuss students’ English proficiency levels.
  • Determine with ELD Teacher if individual students would benefit from native language support (reading/ listening to directions on Canvas) and obtain a list of students’ home languages from Synergy (grades 3-5 may benefit from reading option; K-5 may benefit from listening option) 
  • Arrange to show students how to set a Canvas page to their native language.
  • Ensure this feature is active when students are reading/listening when using Canvas. 

Throughout the year: 

  • Review native language support periodically and determine if students need or prefer to activate it (check with ELD Teacher and students)
