Game/Activity

Students will solve 10 products of multiples of 10.  At the bottom, they will fill out a multiplication image of x6 and x3.

My district has been using reflex math for about 4 years now and the teachers all concur that it is one of the best programs out there that help build fluency for math facts.  By the time students are done, they will be fluent in whichever program you assign them, whether it is addition and subtraction or multiplication and division.  This program does come with a cost though, but we have found it to be an excellent resource the help build elementary student math fact fluency.

Students find out what a witch's favorite subject is by solving a riddle.  In order to solve the riddles, they will need to find the products for 10 multiples of 10 questions.

In this activity students take simple sentences and use metaphors and similes to enhance their sentences, making them more interesting, entertaining, and more meaningful. Students will become more familiar with what a simile and a metaphor are.

Student names are in bold so that teachers can easily see them and replace them with their own student names. This makes is more engaging and fun as well.

In this 3rd grade math activity students partner up. Each has their own paper. They each roll a dice and put the number in the first cell under roll 1. Next they roll again and put the second number under roll 2. They now create a multiplication equation using the 2 dice. They then create a division equation using the two dice. Finally they fill out the fact family triangle. At the end they add up all of their dice and whichever student has the highest sum takes the win.

This is a random three-digit subtraction generator that is

Smartboard friendly, with big buttons. Click the reset values button and the program will generate two 3-digit numbers that students can use to reinforce their ability to subtract.  I use this program to generate subtraction questions and students can use whiteboards to solve the answer.  This can also be used to play games like king of the row or relay races.

This author's purpose game was designed with 3rd through 5th graders in mind. There are 18 questions that students will read and then try to identify the purpose the author had in mind, to inform, persuade, or entertain. The cards can be printed front to back and then laminated. I use six of these games to split my class into 6 different groups. Included is a snakes and ladders board game with a March and St. Patrick's Day. If this author's purpose is taught in a different month than this, please use any old game board.

The rules I use:

Students will find vocabulary that deals with metamorphosis.  I use this when teaching 3rd-graders about how caterpillars turn into butterflies.

In this 4 day lab, students will become very familiar with the procedures involved in identifying minerals.

Day 1: Students will learn what streak, cleavage, and luster are.
