Teachers are always trying to help students understand the relationship between three numbers in multiplication and division. For most students, division is this scary monster waiting behind their door. They get multiplication, but division scares them. This sheet helps students understand that they CAN do division if they can do multiplication. This sheet helps establish the bonds needed to understand many Common Core multiplication and division standards. This discovery worksheet is g

This activity correlates with Common Core State Standard 3.NF.A.1 - "Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b." In this activity, students draw on cards to illustrate the fractions printed on each card. This activity can be played by multiple students at any time. All cards are provided from 1/2 through 10/10. Please view the preview file to determine if t

Teachers are always trying to help students understand the relationship between three numbers in addition and subtraction. For many students, the transition from being fluent with addition facts to understanding of subtraction facts is very tough. I've created this discovery sheet with the intention of making learning not only easy, but fun! I suggest printing this sheet in color and on cardstock. Laminate it! With some magic erasers and dry erase markers, students can explore the connections

KWL charts are a good way for your children to organize their thoughts on a topic. On this chart, I've made a simple design with seven boxes for each of the knowledge areas to be organized. Allow your children to take an ownership part in their learning. This chart allows them to see what they know before and after topics are taught! Better yet, it's FREE! Back to school is a fun but stressful time. Enjoy this helpful resource!

These standards will be used in Tennessee for the 2012 - 2013 school year. I have compiled a nice looking way of displaying SPIs combined with Common Core standards that Tennessee will be using for 3rd grade standards this year. This document also displays SPIs that have been dropped for this transition year. Check out my line of Common Core TaskMasters Math Tasks that I'm in the process of developing for TeachersPayTeachers!
