About the Math Sorts

• This resource includes 38 math sorts, one for each standard/substandard for 3rd grade common core.

• The math sorts are included in printable format and a digital format for use with Google Slides.

• Answer keys for the math sorts are included in the PDF file. (Except 3.OA.7 and 3.G.2 due to the nature of those sorts.)

About the Printable 3rd Grade Math Sorts

Each printable math sort is 2 pages: 1 page for the pockets and directions and one page for the sorting cards.

Using the Printable Math Sorts

These sorts work perfectly in an interactive notebook, but would also work in a center. You could even glue the pockets to a file folder and create an instant sorting game for fun review. I have included a few generic recording sheets if you wish to go with this option.

Printing Tip: Print the sorts with four pockets at 70% and the sorts with three pockets at 80% to fit all the pockets on one page in a spiral notebook.

About the Digital 3rd Grade Math Sorts

The digital math sorts are included for use with Google Slides.

The math sorts are all separated by skill. The links to access the digital math sorts can be found on pages 3 and 4.

A digital answer key is also included for easy grading of the math sorts or to have students self-check.
