Make line plots meaningful and hands-on with this engaging measurement and data activity! Students measure real pencils to the nearest quarter inch, record their data, create a line plot, and analyze the results using higher-order thinking questions. This lesson is perfect for introducing or reinforcing fractional measurement, data representation, and interpreting graphs in 3rd and 4th grade classrooms. What Students Will Do: Measure 10 pencils to the nearest ¼ inch Record fractional measureme
I created this digital lesson for Google Classroom. It helps students get a grasp on area for the first time. The first few slides contain vocabulary and then scaffold students into counting unit squares to find area. Toward the middle of the lesson the students switch from Counting unit squares to multiplying to find area. Finally toward the end of the lesson there are more critical thinking type questions and then a final slide, slide 16, has students explain what they have learned in their ow
I created this little craft to go over missing numbers in multiplication and division. I just did it in worksheet format to save time cutting and gluing. It is adorable if you have them color the snowflakes shades of blue then cut around the edge and paste it onto black construction paper!
This is a 10-question self grading quiz for Google forms. It is division only. It includes arrays, equal groups, word problems, and basic division problems that allow students to use their own strategy. The only strategy I did not include was repeated subtraction. I find that my students get confused when doing a repeated subtraction so I don't always teach that whole group it's more of a small group thing. This quiz was designed to help my students practice the strategies that we learn during w
This lesson allows students to explore the concept of multiplication for the first time using arrays. They will learn that multiplication is a way to find the total number of rows and the total number of columns or items in each row and combine that information to make an equation. There are multiple opportunities for students to observe arrays, create arrays, and explain/evaluate array situations. There are 12 slides total.
This is a 10 question rounding assessment. It covers rounding to the nearest ten, rounding to the nearest ten with a three digit number, and rounding to the nearest hundred. There are short answer questions, multiple choice questions, and multi-select questions. This quiz is on Google Forms so it is self grading!
This is an activity that covers rounding to the nearest hundred. There are slides with number lines and clues, slides that remove the clues, critical thinking slides, slides that foster explaining and a final slide that has students use what they have learned to explain. There are 13 total slides total but more than 13 opportunities for students to think about rounding. There are also teaching/anchor chart slides at the beginning of the assignment for students to use as a reference.
This is an activity that covers rounding to the nearest ten when a number has a hundreds place (3 digit numbers). There are slides with number lines and clues, slides that remove the clues, then toward the end the slides scaffold students into explaining their thinking. There are 14 total slides with 10 total rounding opportunities. There are also teaching/anchor chart slides embedded in the assignment for students to use as a reference.
This is an activity that covers rounding to the nearest ten and the nearest hundred. There are slides with number lines and clues, slides that remove the clues, sorting slides, and a final slide that has students round a single number to the nearest ten and nearest hundred. There are 15 total slides with 18 total rounding opportunities. There are also teaching/anchor chart slides throughout the assignment for students to use as a reference.
This activity covers rounding to ten on a number line. Students are both typing as well as dragging and dropping items on slides. There are nine slides total but the last two slides have multiple numbers to round.
In this no prep worksheet, students will practice finding perimeters of polygons using addition, grid paper, find missing sides, complete word problems, and end with a multi-part question for test prep. There are ten problems in all. There is also a printable anchor chart on page 1. You can blow it up as a poster, or I shrink it to fit composition notebooks and have my students glue it into their math journal as a reference tool! If you are 1:1 and use Google Classroom, you can find this assignm
This worksheet covers perimeter word problems. Students solve word problems while also completing critical thinking activities. The last problem has students analyze an answer and explain why the answer is wrong as well as why their answer is correct! There are ten problems in all for easy grading. There is also an "anchor chart" type sheet on the first page. I always have students glue this into their journal as a reference! If you are 1:1 or use Google Classroom you can find a digital copy of
This area quiz covers items from my four days of area lessons (worksheet copies). There are ten Questions total (two from each lesson/day). The first sheet is a review of everything learned. Depending on how my students progress with area, I sometimes leave this displayed on my Activboard! Worksheet Copies 1. Basic Area2. Finding Dimensions3. Area Distributive Property4. Area Word ProblemsI also have digital versions of everything below that work with Google Classroom! 1. Basic Area2. Fin
This activity assists students in solving for area within word problems. The assignment is a gradual release type assignment. The first few clearly give the dimensions. Then, students will get the area and must determine possible dimensions. Finally, students finish with a couple of critical thinking questions. There is also an "anchor chart" of sorts on the first page. I always condense this so it is the size of a composition notebook page and have students glue it down into their math journal
This activity teaches students to decompose (use the distributive property) to solve for a large area model. The assignment is a gradual release type assignment. The first three problems are are completed, and students fill in the missing numbers. Then, students begin splitting the area model according to given rules. Finally, students end on a problem that allows them to do it all alone! There are six problems total to save room. I like to keep my worksheets down to front/back and that is what
This activity encourages students to find factors or side lengths involving area. There are six total problems that give students area. Students are then challenged to find the dimensions of a possible rectangle two different ways by shading their area model onto grid paper! There is also an "anchor" chart if you will, on page one of this activity. I always print this a bit smaller and have students glue it into their journal as a reference! Are you 1:1? Do you run on Google Classroom? If so the
This is for a basic introduction to area. There are problems in which students use the dimensions and multiply and slides with the area squares to be counted. The last three are word problems and the challenge gives students the area and allows them to find the missing dimensions. There is also an "anchor" chart if you will, on page one of this activity. I always print this a bit smaller and have students glue it into their journal as a reference! Is your classroom 1:1? Do you utilize Google Cla
In this activity, students will implement equal groups to give them a concrete understanding of how multiples of ten should work. Students will create equal groups of ten rods, match equations, and solve their own equations using a strategy of their choice. There is a digital version of this SAME lesson HERE !
This lesson has 13 total graph problems/questions. It helps students with the standard: 3.MD.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. The first part of the lesson has a scaled bar and picture graph and students answer questions based on those graphs. The second part of the lesson has empty graphs and students are required to fill in the
