3rd Grade Math Activities

Students will build number sense and practice identifying place value with this set of task cards with four digit numbers.

Cards include four digit numbers written in standard form, expanded form, word form, and represented with base ten block clip art.

Directions and ideas for differentiation are included.

Can be combined with my two and three digit cards.

Use dice to create single digit multiplication problems.

Updated to include word form!

Students can use these cards to match two and three-digit numbers with their base ten block representations and their expanded form. Use the cards individually to create even more activities. For example, give students the three digit number card and have them build the number using actual base ten blocks. You can also give the students the clip art cards and have them write the three digit numbers or the numbers in expanded form. The possibilities are endless and easily differentiated for every learner.

Base Ten Clip Art from Pink at Heart

A fun way to practice double digit addition without regrouping. Print out the window sheets and glue them into a file folder. I laminated the whole folder. Then print and laminate, and cut apart the flower vases. Add velcro to the windows and vases and allow students to match their answers by placing a flower vase on the window sill.

Get your students up and moving with this fun Hopscotch Math activity! Digital and printable version are included.

Draw a hopscotch board on the sidewalk. Toss bean bags (a folded pair of socks works too!) on to two numbers. Write the numbers in the boxes and solve the equation. Then hop to the numbers to get the bean bags and begin again!

For the digital version, type the numbers into the text boxes.

If you do not have sidewalk chalk, they can pick two numbers from the hopscotch image included on the worksheets. Alternatively, they can use a pack of playing cards (numbers only) to draw numbers.

Your students will love working on skip counting with these printable and digital puzzles! Includes numbers 1-12. Page 4 of the pdf contains a link that will allow you to make a copy of the digital version to use for distance learning.

Easy ideas for differentiating are included on the directions page to make this resource work for every student in your class!

Print each page on colorful cardstock. Laminate if desired. Cut apart the numbers with the skip counting patterns. Do not cut the numbers with the multiplication equations. Students will match the answer to the multiplication fact to complete the puzzle of the number by which they are skip counting. You can also print the numbers with the skip counting patterns to display in the classroom for a visual reference.

Students can use these cards to match two-, three-, and four-digit numbers with their base ten block representations, expanded form, and written form. Use the cards individually to create even more activities. For example, give students the three digit number card and have them build the number using actual base ten blocks. You can also give the students the clip art cards and have them write the three digit numbers or the numbers in expanded form. The possibilities are endless and easily differentiated for every learner.

This resource features five realistic menus for students to explore. Designed for differentiation, this resource offers two levels of engagement focusing on real-world text comprehension and money math skills. The first level involves cut-and-paste activities with simpler questions, focusing on menu comprehension and basic price identification. The second level challenges students with write-in responses, encouraging critical thinking and analysis. Students tackle questions about menu item costs, ingredients, and comparisons of prices. They also practice calculating totals for orders and determining the correct amount of change. This comprehensive resource aims to enhance students' real-world understanding of menus, prices, and basic financial skills, preparing them for practical decision-making and equipping them with valuable life skills.

Este recurso es una herramienta educativa excepcional diseñada para estudiantes de primer grado que se encuentran en el proceso de aprendizaje de la lectura de la hora. El juego combina diversión y aprendizaje para reforzar la comprensión de las horas en punto, las "y media", así como los "y cuarto" y los "menos cuarto".

Instrucciones:

1. Preparativos: Imprima una hoja de 'Veo, veo...' para cada estudiante o pareja participante, junto con las 48 horas diferentes, que incluyen las 12 horas "en punto", 12 horas "y media", 12 horas "y cuarto" y 12 horas "menos cuarto". Para mayor durabilidad, lamínelas, lo que permitirá reutilizarlas en futuras ocasiones.
2. Numeración: Elija 9 de las 48 fichas y numérelas del 1 al 9 utilizando un rotulador borrable. Cada ficha contiene un espacio donde se puede colocar el número correspondiente.
3. Disposición en el aula: Distribuya las 9 hojas con los horarios seleccionados alrededor del aula, asegurándose de que estén visibles para los estudiantes.

Desarrollo del Juego:

Envíe a sus estudiantes a completar sus hojas de 'Veo, veo...' de forma individual o en parejas. En cada hoja, encontrarán 9 relojes analógicos y 9 relojes digitales. Deberán dibujar las manecillas en los relojes analógicos con un marcador borrable y escribir la hora correspondiente en los relojes digitales.

Puede personalizar la dinámica del juego según sus preferencias, ya sea fomentando la cooperación entre los estudiantes o incentivando la competencia amigable.

Si desean volver a jugar, simplemente sustituyan los 9 relojes utilizados por otros de los 39 restantes, lo que proporciona una variación constante y diversión continua en el aprendizaje de la lectura del reloj.

Make shapes fun with yoga. Enjoy this fun activity our founder has been doing in classes since 2009! Shapes are all around us, and we can even make shapes with our bodies.

Use this activity packet to inspire littles ones to explore the world around us with math and shapes.

For years I’ve taught this class to toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. It’s perfect for early childhood or group where big kids support younger kids. If you have mixed ages, or are working with first or second graders, you can make it interesting by focusing on the number of sides in a shape and placing the poses in order based on the number of sides in the shape. Remember to have fun, allow for mistakes, review the shapes and poses in a light hearted way, and make the children feel like shapes, math, and yoga are their friends.

Let’s Make Shapes! is a 17-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.

This activity packet includes:

• Yoga pose cards for six (6) shapes and games to play
• Detailed instruction for the yoga poses, written for kids
• Facilitated discussion prompts, breathing exercises and a mindfulness activity
• Crafts and coloring pages related to shapes
• Shapes Yoga poster

Are your students having difficulty learning and identifying coins and their values? Mine were, so I worked to develop this interactive notebook and PowerPoint slides & I am thrilled with their progress!

The materials in this packet are developed to use in conjunction with one another. Use the powerpoint to introduce coins, then use the notebook to provide practice with each concept. I have also included a parent letter and a 2 page assessment to provide you with valuable pre/post learning data.

Notebook - The notebook is in black and white. Students are encouraged to color pages to reinforce the colors of coins and make the book more "theirs". Most pages require students to make interactive activities with simple cuts & paste directions. Pages that require more directions (accordion counting, and pocket with flap), are towards the end of the book.

The notebook features practice in the following areas for identification and use of the penny, nickel, dime and quarter:

•Sorting – Color and sort coins into a jar

•Identification – Identify front, back, value, and information about the penny, nickel, dime and quarter.

•Counting by 1’s, 5’s, 10’s, 25’s: 2 activities! Students will identify how much & use coins to make requested amount

•Accordion counting support

•Comparison – Flippable pages show how much $1 is in penny, nickel, dime & quarter

•Making purchases with coins – Select the item to purchase and place in pocket.

PowerPoint

•Look at and discuss what coins look like & their value

•Interactive slides – practice counting coins, coin comparison & making purchases

Thank you for checking out my interactive notebook & corresponding PowerPoint presentation!
