Description
These 3rd grade elapsed time math centers, and the accompanying Student Lab Book, are EASY PREP with no little and loose pieces to manage AND no multiple recording sheets to keep track of. The 8 centers target critical 3rd grade elapsed time concepts, including review activities, multiple grade-level activities, and even a challenge activity. They are your SMALL GROUP SOLUTION for your elapsed time unit and feature targeted, high-interest activities that will keep your students engaged and thinking!
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Math Labs build skills and fluency on key math topics per grade.
Elapsed Time Math Lab includes:
> 8 MATH CENTERS
- True or False? – students review various time quantity statements (for example: minutes in an hour) and decide whether they are true or false.
- Crack the Code - students count by 10-minutes to fill out a bus schedule where the bus makes 8 stops. They follow the code to complete a cryptogram.
- Color by Code – students review elapsed time to the hour and follow a code to color a picture.
- What Time am I? – students review elapsed time to the half-hour. They count 30 minutes before or after the time on an analog clock and write the time on a digital clock.
- Estimate It – students are given a START and an END time and estimate the time between (the elapsed time).
- Draw It – students are given a START and an END time and they draw jumps on a number line to figure out the elapsed time.
- Solve It “A Dog’s Day” - students meet Archie the Dachshund and read about his different daily events. They write what time it is after each event.
- Brain Benders – a challenge activity of logic puzzles with clocks.
> STUDENT LAB BOOK
Students record their answers in the Elapsed Time Lab Book, a half-page booklet that keeps each student’s work together.
> SUPPORT MATERIALS
There are student-friendly directions and answer keys for each center and organizing materials such as Tub Labels and a Binder Cover and Spines.
MATH LABS ARE EASY TO USE
Are you tired of explaining how to use different math centers every time you start a new math unit? I have Math Labs on all the big math topics in 3rd Grade—multiplication, division, area and perimeter, just to name a few. And, each of them uses a consistent format. This means that if you’ve demonstrated their use ONCE, your kids will have no problem using any of my different Math Labs throughout the year.
In addition, these math centers are versatile and can be used in multiple ways, depending on your students and your classroom organization. You can use them:
- in guided math groups
- in small groups as part of your math rotations
- as independent work
- in 8 stations around the room (similar to Science Labs, where each center is at its own station and students circulate to complete their Lab Book)
- in the sub tub
- in tutoring
- for Math RTI
- for fast finishers (the 8th challenge activity provides a good challenge for your high achievers)
