Third Grade Lex

I have done this activity with my students for years, and they (like me) love a chance to integrate math exploration with sweet treats. This can work as an independent work station, or as a whole-class experience while you assist students at the same time. This includes almost everything you need for a multiplication exploration: *A "manipulation mat" as a work space for your students *A student recording page *A rubric for teacher use to assess students' work All you need to provide is the c

UPDATED: Grade levels changed to reflect Common Core Shift. Common Core Standards tagged. This is a hands-on experience with 3-D shapes that your students will love. It would be great to use as an introduction to 3-dimensional figures and a helpful experience for students to use the math vocabulary. Students will explore seven polyhedron listed in the table (possibly as a manipulative math center). While exploring the objects, they will be able to record their findings in the table on the work

This fraction assessment allows students to demonstrate whether or not they can identify a shaded fractional part, equivalence of landmark fractions and decimals, along with shading in fractional parts of 10 x 10 grids and placing fractions on a number line.

This document is a study of equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents for students in grades 5 and 6. Students will work with: • Multi-Colored centimeter cubes • Base-ten blocks • Blank Hundreds Grid (to fit centimeter cubes) • Corresponding Template This activity is not an introductory lesson, but it is a culminating experience for students to use their understanding of fractions, decimals, and percents in order to plan a garden plot for Mrs. Flowers. NCTM process standards are cited.

This three-activity lesson plan for measuring and graphing in grades 2,3, and/or 4 involves almost everything you need to create a real-life learning experience for your students. The three activities outlined in the lesson include: 1. Measuring parts of one's body using metric units 2. Exploring parts of the classroom to gain experience with metric units and body referents. (i.e.: the width of a pinky is approx. 1 cm.) 3. Using decimeter cords within the classroom (Decimeter cord how-to incl

I created this work page as a pre-assessment before I explicitly taught any multiplication lessons to my students. My main goal was to see how my students were able to represent their thinking involving real-world multiplication problems. I allowed them ample work space to answer three separate math stories in order to uncover background knowledge and drive my future instruction. This three-question, simple page can reveal many things about your students without overwhelming them. Some may draw

This simple activity allows students to predict and then record the probability of rolling a 6-sided die 60 times. Student tally and make a line plot of the data. Each student needs the recording sheet, a die, and a pencil. It would be a great addition to a Probability page in an interactive math notebook!

This document could easy be used as homework or a math center. Directions: Students, draw a rectangular array to represent the following groups of objects, write the corresponding equation, and solve for the total. Make sure your arrays are neatly drawn so that you do not miscount! Includes 5 groups of objects to show with arrays, and one for the students to write their own group of objects and solve themselves. Answer key included.

This is a simple assessment that will shed light on whether or not your students know how to write money amounts using a dollar sign and a decimal point (rather than using the "cents" sign). Students need to read the money amount and fill in the correct notation in the blank. For example, 3 quarters = ________.

Use this two-page printable to allow your students to record different types of angles (acute, right, obtuse) while exploring your school. Go on an Angle Hunt and allow students to document their findings in these simple, open-ended, easy to understand pages.

This two-question page is designed for your students to problem solve and show their thinking in pictures, numbers, and/or words. It works perfectly as a homework, classwork, or quick assessment while revisiting multiplication concepts.
