Third-grade math is a major transitional phase where students go from working primarily with concrete concepts which they can usually solve with the use of manipulatives to relying more on pictures to help them solve larger and more complex problems. The resources I'm providing below are divided into three groups.
- The first group is the most important--math facts. Students entering third grade should have already mastered their addition and subtraction facts. If a child has not mastered their addition and subtraction facts prior to third grade, this should be an area of focus at the start of the year. Once students have mastered their addition and subtraction facts, they should move on to multiplication and then division.
The resources are divided into two groups: Quizlets, videos, and games. The Quizlets are to be used as flashcards. The problem will appear, and within about two seconds, the answer will appear. The second resource is videos created by the Quizlets. These are good because they can be used on a TV and the speed can be increased. The last resource is online games. In these, students will race against other players or the computer. Parents should ensure that students understand that they should never use their real names for these games.
- The second group is Thinking Blocks. This is an online resource that helps students understand how to interpret word problems and bar model them correctly. This is a highly effective tool to help students get ahead in their learning how to draw and label models or as a means of helping struggling students correct their learning and to fill in the gaps.
- The third group is YouTube video links designed for parents to support them as they help their child with homework. These videos do not go over the homework problems but instead, goes over the key teaching points. This is helpful in that it helps the parent know what words to use and methods to teach when supporting his or her child with homework. The homework pages are listed to the right and correspond with the video that is linked. Though students can watch these videos, they are not designed for students. This is a work in progress. I apologize if the video you want to use is not yet completed, but I thought it would be better to provide them as they are created instead of waiting for all of them to be finished first.
