I made this to go along with the Number Talks mental math strategies. I want my students to find different ways to make or "decompose" numbers. The goal is for students to understand that what one student gets as an answer may be different from another student's answer, and that both students can be correct.

This is for my third graders to practice finding the area of irregularly shaped figures. There is a challenge on the back for them to figure out the area of figures that I hadn't yet taught. You could also just use the back as a part of everyday work!

I made this for multiplying by multiples of ten (MGSE3.NBT.3 , MCC3.NBT.3) word problems. Students should read the word problem, draw a picture, then write a matching equation.

I created this as a practice for my students for multiplying by multiples of ten. I gave students groupings using words. They were required to draw a picture to solve the problem then write a matching equation (i.e. 3 x 40 = 120). The back is for the early finishers who need a challenge, or have all of your class complete it!

This is a checklist I created to help my students self-assess solving word problems then let a peer check / assess their work so that they can get in the habit of completing necessary steps to solving word problems!

Students create hearts for valentines day out of different polygons. Once the polygons are created they used geometry definitions and multiplication to score their figures!

This is an activity that I made for students to be able to look at division problems as unknown factor problems. It relates multiplication and division. There is also a choice box. You can assign them problems for the box or let them choose!

This is a way of allowing students to represent multiplication three different ways. It isn't really "Halloween" but I did put a spiderweb border since I'm using it in October! :)

This is a differentiated word problem activity in that students have the freedom to choose which three out of six division "mysteries" they complete. Some problems have remainders while some will work out evenly. Some are also multistep providing a challenge for a variety of learning abilities!

This is a set of common core aligned task cards for multiplication and division. I have students that can give you a solution to a problem all day but as a challenge, I like to give them the solution and have them give me the problem! These are some task cards that give arrays but ask the kids to give you a matching problem. There are a variety of problems from choose your opperation, to multiplication story problems, multiplication number sentences, division ... etc. etc. There are twelve total

This is an activity I made to match GA standards MCC.3.OA.8, and MD.6 and 7. It is related to area as well as solving story problems. The students will need at least one if not two sheets of grid paper to show their thinking on. I copied front and back and let them do it that way. To differentiate the lesson, I let lower kids solve two of their choice and higher kids solve three problems of their choice. They could work individually or with a partner.

This ties into the GA third grade math standard MCC.3.OA.8, solving multi-step story problems. I attached a sheet to allow students to solve two problems of their choice and a challenge sheet for the higher students to complete when they finish the first two. Having students choose two of their choice is a perfect way of differentiating the lesson!

This is an activity I created for students to read and interpret fraction word problems. I let mine use linking cubes to count out the total number needed and then break them into the given fractions. Then, they need to show their solving using pictures, numbers, and words. There are also some critical thinking questions for the end to let them really evaluate the fractions they are using! It goes along with the GA standard on representing and interpreting fractions.

This is an activity I made to go along with the GA fraction standard, representing fractions. I wanted them to be able to represent and understand the fraction multiple ways. I use this on day two of introducing fractions that way they have the vocabulary before this practice task.

This goes along with a Georgia Math Frameworks lesson with students learning to skip count and recognize patterns in skip counting. I created this sheet and they can use a crayon or highlighter to skip count by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10!

This is a multiplication book that I let my students do over a span of a couple of days. I bind it and they keep it at all times. It goes along with the finding patterns standard MCC3.AO.9. It's also a good early finisher thing for them to do. They can study, re read the rules (they write their own rules to remember) or even make some flash cards all by using this book! ** This covers 2's through 12's as ones should be simple enough to not need memorization **

This can introduce or reinforce the concept of multiplication. Use it as you read along in "One Hundred Hungry Ants." You can do it as you read or go back and have students note three arrangements they remember.

This is a reinforcement activity that I create to coincide with a GA frameworks lesson on practicing mulitplication with tens. I use the base ten ten-strips to talk and introduce then let them use dice to roll their numbers.

This is something I created to reinforce a GA mathematics frameworks activity on building arrays to reinforce fact families. The students must build the given arrays then label the mulitplication problem and division.

This is a multiplication chart I made for my students to work on. I filled in some of the facts to get their minds going.
