An integrated 3rd-grade sequence focused on solving real-world word problems involving time, liquid volume, and mass. Students act as professionals in various fields, applying measurement concepts to complex scenarios and simulations.
A comprehensive week-long math unit focused on identifying coin values and performing addition and subtraction of money up to $20 using a calculator in real-world contexts.
A comprehensive unit on calculating elapsed time, progressing from simple one-hour intervals to quarter-hour and five-minute increments using scenarios and analog clocks.
A 3-day math sequence for 3rd graders focused on multiplication comparisons and identifying patterns in tables using a fun Toy Factory theme.
A comprehensive unit where students become 'Problem Detectives,' learning to decode word problems using linguistic cues and cloze-style paragraph writing to explain their mathematical reasoning.
A week-long daily multiplication fluency program designed to build rapid recall of facts from 0-12 through repeated, varied practice.
A playful, detective-themed math sequence for 3rd grade students to master number comparison. Students become 'Digit Detectives' as they investigate place value mysteries, solve 'blunders' made by a messy professor, and create their own case files using concrete models like base-ten blocks and number lines.
A lesson sequence focused on understanding and converting volume units (liters and milliliters) to compare capacities through interactive games and visual models.
A math remediation sequence for 3rd and 4th graders focused on place value concepts, specifically periods (units and thousands) and the structural role of commas in large numbers.
A targeted remediation unit focusing on 3rd-grade place value through the lens of number patterns and sequences. Students use visual analysis to identify which digits change within a place value chart to determine addition and subtraction rules.
A lesson sequence focused on decomposing numbers up to 10,000 using Concrete, Pictorial, and Abstract (CPA) representations. Students move from physical blocks to abacus sketches and finally to expanded form equations.
A series of lessons focused on geometry and spatial reasoning, where students explore the properties of 2D shapes, symmetry, and patterns.
A series of lessons focused on mastering skip counting patterns to build a strong foundation for multiplication and place value. Students engage in physical movement, musical rhythms, and visual aids to internalize counting by different intervals.
A hands-on sequence designed for students needing academic support to master fraction equivalence and operations through concrete modeling. Students use physical manipulatives like towers, blocks, and overlays to bridge the gap between abstract symbols and conceptual understanding.
This sequence uses the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) framework to teach decimal place value through the lens of financial literacy. Students move from manipulating physical currency to drawing models and finally using standard algorithms to manage budgets.
This sequence utilizes base-ten blocks and area models to scaffold multi-digit multiplication and division, providing a visual and tactile framework for students who struggle with standard algorithms. By connecting physical area models to expanded form and eventually the standard algorithm, students build a conceptual foundation that supports future algebraic learning.
A 5-lesson series for 3rd-grade students focusing on hands-on fraction understanding using manipulatives like playdough, fraction tiles, and number lines. Students move from physical partitioning to abstract numerical representations and equivalence.
