Description
I created this as a fun way for my students to review 3rd grade math problems in a fun and challenging way! My 3rd graders are learning about chicks hatching, so it was a great math connection activity. After each problem is solved, a secret number is revealed, either in a Google Form where students self-check their answers, or by the teacher. Each problem is related to chicks and is multi-step- my students had so much fun solving them! At the end of the activity, the students must use all of their secret numbers to find the location of the chicks.
There are 5 challenges for the students to complete and each is in the form of a challenging puzzle-type problem, all with a chick theme.
Math skills used:
-Multiplication/Division/Addition/Subtraction Facts
-Algebraic Thinking
-Area/Perimeter of Rectangles, Perimeter of Hexagon/Pentagon
-Adding and Subtracting Money
-Elapsed Time
-Reading a Graph
-Addition and Subtraction of 2-4 digit numbers with regrouping
I used this with my higher level 3rd graders, but this could easily be used with 4th or 5th grade students for review/problem solving practice. It is a perfect partner activity or enrichment option!
Easy prep! Just print out the problems for students to complete and choose whether you want the students to check their answers digitally by using a Google Form, or if you want the students to check their answers with you. I had my students complete this without a calculator, but using a calculator would be a way for students to focus more on the problem solving aspect of the activity and less on the calculations.
Digital Checking Option- Students can type their answers into a Google Form I created to go along with the activity. Students must get the answer correct to move forward and get each secret number. The entire activity can be completed without the teacher for the digital option.
Non-digital option- Students solve each question and then get the answer checked by the teacher. The teacher reveals the numbers after each problem and then students give the teacher the final combination at the end so they can find out the location of the chicks.
