This Third Grade Math Back to School Unit is designed to be teacher and student-friendly with math lessons and activities that are fun, engaging, and easy to prep. Whether you are looking for a stand-alone curriculum or a supplement to your required school curriculum, this comprehensive unit has everything you need to teach third grade standards with ease.
Not all math curriculum is awful. Just sum. Ba-da-bum!
But when it is bad, it is very, very bad. And unfortunately, a lot of traditional math curriculum is very, very bad. It’s overly complex, too long, impossible to differentiate, difficult to manage, and, frankly, not much fun. It can be hard to wade through all the extras and find the most valuable parts of the lesson. You don’t have time to read dozens of pages in the teacher manual and there are way too many different pieces to prep. Ugh!
If that sounds like your math curriculum, you’re in luck. Because now you have an alternative that is very, very good. A math curriculum that you and your students will LOVE!
This Back to School Unit includes fun, engaging, and easy-to-prep lessons and hands-on activities. It is the perfect way to review essential math skills and get kids excited about math.

- Day 1: A fun All About Me math engages students and helps you get to know your class.
- Day 2: A class schedules activity reviews time and helps your students learn their new schedule.
- Day 3: A fact families activity provides valuable practice of basic math facts.
- Day 4: Skip counting, hundreds chart activities, and patterns develop analytical skills and help prime students for multiplication later in the year.
- Day 5: A place value lesson wraps up the first week and transitions nicely to Unit 2: Place Value.
How to Use It in the Classroom:
- You can use the PowerPoint mini-lesson for your whole group instruction. Project on the whiteboard and have students participate in the interactive lesson.

- Introduce the workshop model and meet with small groups of students each day. Don’t worry about these being your regular groups yet. Just get kids used to working independently on the activities while you meet with small groups. As a bonus, you get to see some of your students’ mathematical thinking up close.
- Differentiation is easy with directions for intervention, on-level, and enrichment activities.
- Take a few minutes to share at the end of class. Students will enjoy getting to share what they learned and learning a little bit about their new classmates.
