QR Codes: Multiplication and Division Word Problems
In this spring multiplication and division word problems game, students identify the answer to the multiplication or division word problem on each card. When they figure out the answer (example: 8), they scan the QR code on the card and will be given a alphabet letter. Students find 8 on the Mystery Phrase sheet and fill in the corresponding letter. After all cards have been answered, the Mystery Phrase will reveal a secret phrase to students. There are three mystery phrases included in this pack that celebrate spring! Aligns with 3.OA.3.
Spring Game: Elapsed Time
In this spring elapsed time game, all of the magical creatures and fairies are trying to figure out how long they are doing each activity. Help each magical creature figure out how much time has elapsed while they are jogging/granting wishes, etc! There are 12 characters included and each one has a number line to help students figure out the elapsed time. Aligns with 3.MD.1.
Line Them Up: Measure to the Nearest ยผ Inch
In this spring measurement game, students split into two teams. Each team finds their start card. Students find the answer to the card and line it up under the previous card. The first team to line up all their cards in the correct order is the winner! Students are given the same cards but in a different order so the two teams can play fairly. This version of line them up has students practice finding the length of lines to the nearest quarter inch. Aligns with 3.MD.4.
Spring House Game: Capacity and Mass
In this spring capacity and mass game, students are shown pictures of six rooms in a house. They have to figure out the capacity or mass of each item shown. There are 45 items in the house they have to figure out the capacity or mass of. If they are finding the capacity, they have to choose between liters or milliliters. If they are finding the mass, they have to choose between grams or kilograms. Aligns with 3.MD.2.
Bird Game: Fractions as Whole Numbers
In this spring fractions game, the Momma Birds have lost their baby birds! Help each baby bird find it's way back to it's momma! The Momma birds have wholes on them and the baby birds have fractions that are equivalent to each whole number. This gives students a basic understanding of fractions as whole numbers and helps with confusion between examples like 4/4 and 4/1. Aligns with 3.NF.3.
Shark VS Bait: Comparing Fractions Game
In this spring comparing fractions game, each card has two fish fractions on it. Students have to decide which fish the shark should eat on each card. The shark opens its mouth just like a comparison symbol (greater than or less than)and eats the bigger fish! This game is a refreshing way to enter the spring time and gets students practicing with comparing fractions! Aligns with 3.NF.3.
Spring Butterfly Multiplication Fact Puzzles
I like to print multiple sets of this game on different colored papers for this spring multiplication facts game. There are twelve multiplication puzzles included. Each puzzle has three pieces. Print the puzzles four times on four different colored papers. That way, students can race each other to see who can put all of their puzzles together first! Or, let students work together collaboratively to put together all 12 puzzles! This is a good way to help students review their multiplication facts as they reach the end of the year. Aligns with 3.OA.7.
Weather Game: Bar Graphs/Pictographs
First, students randomly draw 24 weather patterns out of a bag. In this spring graphing game, students then have to make a tally chart of all of the weather patterns. Once this is complete, the students have to create a bar graph or pictograph of their data using the graphing sheet. This is a great way for students to practice creating graphs and include the measurement standards. Aligns with 3.MD.3.
Spring Game: Area and Perimeter
There are 18 cute photos included in this spring area and perimeter game! Each picture has the area or perimeter written on it. Students have to figure out all of the different dimensions that would fit the area or perimeter given. For example, if it says the area of the picture is 10, students would list 1x10 and 2x5 as the possible dimensions. Aligns with 3.MD.5-8.
Spring Animals Game: Perimeter
In this spring perimeter game, the woodland creatures are looking for the perfect backyard to live in! Each house has the background dimensions listed on the yard. Students have to figure out which animal should live in each backyard. This matching game is a great way to remind students of the difference between area and perimeter while practicing essential skills for third graders. Aligns with 3.MD.8.
These games can be used for elementary children as a worksheet alternative, game printables, math stations, center rotations, math centers, in guided math, as enrichment or remediation, in small groups, as test prep, homework practice (take what you donโt finish home for homework), and so much more! These engaging math activities are made to be flexible so you can use them however youโd like in your classroom. Every game now has a recording sheet and answer key included!
This aligns with 2nd Grade Texas TEKS:
- TEKS 2.9F: use concrete models of square units to find the area of a rectangle by covering it with no gaps or overlaps, counting to find the total number of square units, and describing the measurement using a number and the unit
- TEKS 2.9G: read and write time to the nearest one-minute increment using analog and digital clocks and distinguish between a.m. and p.m.
This aligns with 3rd Grade Texas TEKS:
- TEKS 3.3F: represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines
- TEKS 3.3G: explain that two fractions are equivalent if and only if they are both represented by the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same size whole for an area model
- TEKS 3.3H: compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models
- TEKS 3.4F: recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity and recall the corresponding division facts
- TEKS 3.4K: solve one-step and two-step problems involving multiplication and division within 100 using strategies based on objects; pictorial models, including arrays, area models, and equal groups; properties of operations; or recall of facts
- TEKS 3.5B: represent and solve one- and two-step multiplication and division problems within 100 using arrays, strip diagrams, and equations
- TEKS 3.6C: determine the area of rectangles with whole number side lengths in problems using multiplication related to the number of rows times the number of unit squares in each row
- TEKS 3.6D: decompose composite figures formed by rectangles into non-overlapping rectangles to determine the area of the original figure using the additive property of area
- TEKS 3.6E: decompose two congruent two-dimensional figures into parts with equal areas and express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole and recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape
- TEKS 3.7B: determine the perimeter of a polygon or a missing length when given perimeter and remaining side lengths in problems
- TEKS 3.7C: determine the solutions to problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes using pictorial models or tools such as a 15-minute event plus a 30-minute event equals 45 minutes
- TEKS 3.7D: determine when it is appropriate to use measurements of liquid volume (capacity) or weight
- TEKS 3.7E: determine liquid volume (capacity) or weight using appropriate units and tools
- TEKS 3.8A: summarize a data set with multiple categories using a frequency table, dot plot, pictograph, or bar graph with scaled intervals
- TEKS 3.8B: solve one- and two-step problems using categorical data represented with a frequency table, dot plot, pictograph, or bar graph with scaled intervals
This aligns with 4th Grade Texas TEKS:
- TEKS 4.3C: determine if two given fractions are equivalent using a variety of methods
- TEKS 4.3D: compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators and represent the comparison using the symbols >, <, or =
- TEKS 4.5C: use models to determine the formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle (l + w + l + w or 2l + 2w), including the special form for perimeter of a square (4s) and the area of a rectangle (l x w)
- TEKS 4.5D: solve problems related to perimeter and area of rectangles where dimensions are whole numbers
- TEKS 4.8A: identify relative sizes of measurement units within the customary and metric systems
