Learning Palette® Math Center Kit - Grade 3

Grade 3.

For your Common Core curriculum.

This kit gives students the opportunity to work independently while learning interactively. Self-correcting Learning Palettes® are easy to use, fun, and classroom tested. Works with all curriculums and allows students to work at their own pace. Kit comes with two Learning Palette® Bases and six curriculum packs. Each curriculum has been carefully written to meet NCTM Standards and the new Common Core standards. This grade level kit includes three packets for numeration, and one each for algebra concepts, geometry and measurement, and probability and statistics. Kit was designed for math centers and allow 4-6 students to work independently. Additional bases will allow for more students. Each packet includes 12 cards with 12 questions on each card for a total of 864 questions.

CCSS Product Alignment

3.OA.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 x 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 x 7.

3.OA.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

3.OA.4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 x ? = 48, 5 = _ ÷ 3, 6 x 6 = ?

3.OA.6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.

3.OA.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

3.NBT.2 Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

3.NBT.3 Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (e.g., 9 x 80, 5 x 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

3.NF.1 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts, understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

3.NF.3a Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.

3.NF.3b Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
