Are you new to teaching third grade? Whether you’re a newbie or a veteran teacher, here’s what you need to know: 1. Multiplication is king. Multiplication RULES third grade math.

If you ask me (and I am pretending that you did), third grade is the BEST grade to teach! Third graders are still young enough to love school, love their teacher and get excited over simple things like coloring. However, they are old enough to be independent workers and thinkers. Most third graders know how to read
Third grade! Yay! I survived the first two weeks of third grade and finally have the time/energy to tell you a little bit about it.

Hello darlings! Amy here from That Teaching Spark! If you are like me, you use some semblance of technology in your classroom. You might be 1:1 with each student having a device or you may have access to a few devices for your entire class! I'm lucky enough to have a class set of chrome carts to share with my grade level of five teachers. We rotate the chrome books around to each other. I also have four devices that I use for math rotations every day! I have to admit, I would be lost without them! There are so many amazing websites and resources out there! I asked all of you in the All About 3rd Grade Facebook Group, to share the websites you use on a daily basis. I have reviews those websites and have included the ones most often recommended in this All About 3rd Grade Symbaloo. A Symbaloo is simply a bookmarking site. You can copy and paste this link on your classroom website, Google Classroom, or other learning platform for your students. Then students can click the icon to take them to the recommended page. https://www.symbaloo.com/mix/allabout3rdgrade Most websites that I included are free or at least allow for a free version with less bells and whistles. Here are 3 of My Favs 1. Epic Epic is perfect for sharing books on your projector. It has over hundreds of popular books! They have some books read aloud but I really like it for the nonfiction and collections that it offers. You can even create quizzes for your students. Watch this video for a little overview. 2. Prodigy Play Math Prep My kiddos use Prodigy everyday in math rotations. I can assign them any standard I want and it will create questions for them. This is what students see. They create little avatar wizards and then battle through lands that they unlock. They even earn pets that can have powers! They unlock and earn power ups by answering question correctly. You can assign the skills or have the game do it for you! In this video, I explain how to assign test prep, but it is the same directions for other assignments. 3. Go Formative This is a new website for me! I am super excited to try it next year! create online assessments, classwork or homework connects seamlessly with Google Classroom ANY GRADE, ANY SUBJECT, ANY DEVICE create a class & track student data students can type, draw or upload images get LIVE results & give instant feedback to your students very easy to use FREE & PAPERLESS for both teachers and students Check out the video for a sneak peek on how it works!

Third grade teachers, I'm SO happy to share that the second set of number sense riddles for 1 through 120 is finally completed! So, what are these riddles all about? Each of the cards in this set has two to three clues that lead to a number between 1 and 120. As your students progress through the clues, they'll narrow the options for which numbers might be the answer, until the last clue brings them down to just one number. Here's an example. Solving a riddle is great for daily spiral review and most definitely motivating - have you ever had a student who didn't like riddles? But there's so much more that you can do with these cards! Listen to some of the conversations that might happen beyond the solving if you were to use this card as the basis for a number talk. Note the great opportunitites to differentiate. "Can you switch out 8X11 and 100-7 to other expressions and still get the same final answer?" "Is there a quick way to tell if a number is odd or even?" "Is 5 a multiple of 10 or a factor of 10? Explain..." "Can you substitute a new clue for the final clue and still get the same answer?" "Let's create a whole new riddle for this number." And, of course, always, "How do you know? Explain your thinking." See what I mean? If you're teaching your students virtually, try giving your students the riddle of the day ahead of time, with the dual assignment of solving it AND coming up with a math talk question about the riddle. How are teachers using these riddles? * Using one or more each day is a great way to keep math vocabulary and concepts active in the minds of your students. * Take a screenshot of any page and use with Seesaw or your favorite app so your students can solve these right on their devices. * Practice comprehension skills across the curriculum by "thinking aloud" to model identifying key details, inferring, and drawing conclusions. * In a small group or with partners, use the printable and task card activities. Great for small groups and math centers! * Use math riddles as a sponge activity throughout the day. * The riddle cards are a productive use of learning time for fast finishers or for enrichment. * Level up or down to differentiate with individual students or small groups. See riddles for first and second grade here, and for fourth and fifth grade here. You might be wondering what math topics these riddle cards address. Here's a quick rundown of the topics/vocabulary in this set. * Addition and subtraction through 1,000 * Multiplication and division facts * Products, factors, multiples * US coins and measurement * Area and perimeter * Attributes of 2D and 3D shapes Are you ready to try this free set of six?
