Description

This Third Grade Math Graphing and Data Unitis 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 Measurement and Data 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.

This comprehensive ready-to-teach unit comes with the lessons, practice pages, and tools you need to teach standards-based math skills. The instructional PowerPoint is your complete mini lesson–just project on the board and teach. Daily student activities are effective and engaging–just print and copy for each student. We’ve also included a list of frequently asked questions to address some common concerns and help you troubleshoot. 

This Third Grade Data Unit includes 10 days of lessons on pictographs, bar graphs, and line plots. The At a Glance schedule helps you plan your lessons for the entire week. Each day includes an instructional PowerPoint and student activity. This low-prep unit will save you so much time!

  • Anchor charts assist visual learners and provide a student reference throughout each unit.
  • Daily lesson plans and activities for small group instruction make lesson planning a breeze.
  • Suggestions for intervention and enrichment make differentiation easy.
  • Graphic organizers for scaffolding students in learning new math concepts.
