This Power Point walks through using the distributive property to solve 2 digit by 1 digit and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication problems. With each mouse click, the next step in the process is revealed. There are 4 slides which demonstrate the process using arrays. The four examples with arrays are all 2 digits multiplied by 1 digit. There are four more 2 digit by 1 digit slides that illustrate the process without an array. There are three slides that illustrate 3 digit by 1 digit problems. Alo

This Power Point gives step by step instructions on identifying and solving additive and multiplicative comparison problems. The first two slides give two word problems. Students are to identify the key words and with a mouse click, the key words are highlighted. With each click of the mouse, the problem is worked out. Slides 4-9 give a single word problem in which students identify the key words and solve. In addition to the slide show, an activity is provided so that students may practice writ

I designed this game so that my students wouldn't begrudge practicing long division. There are 2 game boards. One of the gameboards has 2 digit dividends with 3 digit dividend challenge problems. The other has 3 digit dividends with 4 digit dividend challenge problems. My students really enjoyed it and barely realized they were practicing long division.

This is an activity in which students find the factors of 1-24 using cookie cereal to make arrays to assist them. They complete a chart as they find each factor. After finding the factors or 1-24, there is a sheet in which they identify the prime and composite numbers. There are also practice finding factors worksheets included. I created this activity as an alternative to the Core Curriculum Unit 2 Activity 4. I've used it in my classroom and it worked very well.

In this game, students identify factors of whole numbers. As they move around the game board, they must land on factors of a given number to fill their freak card. There are two levels of play. For level one, students are given the factors and in level two, students find the factors of a given number before playing. The beauty of this game is that you can adjust and vary the way it is played to suit your time frame and student's ability level. Not only are students practicing finding factors, th

In this version of the remainder game, students divide beans from the pot into groups and keep the remaining beans. Better watch out, if you land on spill the beans, you loose all your beans and have to start all over. Mats and beans are provided for hands on division with manipulatives. This game is great for independent workstations. 2-4 players CCSS: 4.NBT.6 ; MA.3.M.3.6

Is it the 100th day of school? I found that most of the activities out there are for younger students. I created a couple of activities so that my older students could still participate in celebrating the 100th day of school. In this activity, students are given a riddle and equations sheet. They solve the equations and color in the corresponding number on the 100's chart. After solving all of the equations, the answer to the riddle appears on the chart. The students really liked it. They

Students will find the missing factor or product for 20 given problems. If answered correctly, part of the mystery picture will appear. If incorrectly answered, nothing will appear and they have to try again. Great for early finishers, math centers, homework or independent practice. The picture works best on 90% screen size. I also linked a standard. Division is not found in this activity so it is only a partial standard.

This power point covers the steps to multiplying 2 digit whole numbers by 2 digit whole numbers using the rectangular section strategy. With each mouse click, the next step in the process is revealed. A power point guide is provided so students can fill in the answers as you work the power point. The first 4 slides give step by step directions and the last 4 have multiplication problems the students can solve on their guide sheet. I have a smart board so the students solve, then get called t

Students will solve 24 problems in which they will multiply by a multiple of 10. If answered correctly, part of the mystery picture will appear. If incorrect, nothing will appear and they will have to try again in order to complete the picture. I like to use these as center work, homework or early finisher work.

Students will complete 20 addition problems that have 3- 1 digit addends. If answered correctly, part of the mystery picture will appear. If incorrect, nothing will appear and they can try again. Fun for early finishers, math stations or for Christmas activities.

These puzzlers are GREAT for early finishers or workstations. They truly challenge your students to be problem solvers. There are 6 puzzles. All of the puzzles have 2 digit dividends and the quotients are with and without remainders. Students place the puzzle pieces onto the division mat creating a completed division problem. Answers included.

Students will solve 20, 2 digit by 2 digit numbers with regrouping. If answered correctly, part of the mystery picture will appear. If incorrect, nothing will appear. This is great for independent or extra practice, early finishers, math centers or homework.

Make sure you have google sheets before purchasing. Review addition with regrouping skills for third grade. This paperless resource is for Google Sheets. Students will solve addition problems and type answers in the answer column. If the student answers correctly, part of the mystery picture will appear. If student answers incorrectly, nothing will appear. This activity works great for independent practice, math centers or homework.

Students will solve 24 multiplication comparison sentences. If solved correctly, part of the mystery picture will appear. If incorrect, nothing appears and students can try again. I use these as early finisher work, homework or station work. Because this picture is so large, your sheets page needs to be set at 65% or smaller in order to see the picture appear as you work.
