The exciting 100 days of school multiplication and division

Personally, I think that 3rd-grade is the biggest transition for students math-wise. Solving two-step word problems in 3rd-grade is the perfect example of this difficult transition. Below I share with you my helpful tips for writing two-step word problems.

I have taught grades 2-8 math, so I am speaking from experience when I share this opinion. Many of my students struggled with the transition from 2nd-grade to 3rd-grade. My own daughter spent many nights crying in 3rd-grade. Sadly, I won't go into the upsetting details, this was due to her math teacher every time (this was before I became a math teacher so I was not able to truly understand what was wrong).

Third-grade is when, as teachers, we should start preparing our students for algebraic expressions and equations and more algebra in the future. THIS IS A DIFFICULT JUMP! If students miss this strong algebra base, they tend to struggle unless there is intervention.

With two-step word problems, we are not only prepping students for algebraic expressions and equations, but also order of operations. Two-step word problems vary in difficulty and in some cases require students to use a variable.

In the case that you do not wish to write your own two-step word problems, I have created these task cards to use in math centers, math rotations, etc... The names in the task cards are either from my pets or my family. That is a fun tidbit to share with your students.

The task cards are shaped like phones and SUPER easy to prep.

Understanding multiplication word problems in 3rd-grade can be daunting for sure. Truthfully, all the methods can be in place and your lesson can still fall flat. Personally, I feel that in this case, the one thing that is missing deals with whether or not the student is engaged and having fun.

Also, I feel like sometimes required curriculum can fail us, even if it is standards-based.

One day, I tried to dream up an activity that paired with my favorite math strategy (CUBES), that would be a big hit and hit the standards.

Then, I realized, the most popular thing among students that I know... is their phone... How cute is the phone theme?!

These multiplication within 100 task cards pair perfect with my CUBES math strategy flip book.

The fun thing about these cards that you can share with your students - the names are from my daughter, family, and pets!

Personally, I like to laminate the task cards for durability and reuse. Of course, this step is optional, but super efficient. 

Use the task cards in math centers, math rotations, etc...

C.U.B.E.S. math strategy is commonly used to teach students how to deconstruct word problems to make them easier to solve.

Circle all the important numbers, underline the question, box all the important math words, evaluate the important words that you may have left out and eliminate what you don't need, and solve the word problem.

This flip book is a compact way for students to review the steps at home or at school. Plus, I always think providing parents with manipulatives to help their kiddos reinforce what they are being taught is a FABULOUS THING! AND this flip book is not 3rd-grade specific so it can be used for many years.

At the current time, I have TWO sets of New Year's color by number for division. Their only differences are coloring and the amount of multiplication sentences on each sheets.

Version 1 is truly beautiful -- it has MORE division sentences than version 2, BUT the colors are not as common. The uncommon colors are only a problem because most 24-count crayons most likely don't have the colors listed.

In fact, I had to turn to Crayola™ to name the colors! 

With that said, the worksheets are beautiful! If you have a creative class, these worksheets are perfect! Also, early finishers will probably enjoy the challenge.

**QUICK TIP:  As the teacher, you could prepare the crayons BEFORE they are used in centers, etc... This will definitely cut down on confusion and make these worksheets a colorful blessing.
