In this lesson, students create a "train" (or row) of shapes. Each shape in the row must have one attribute in common with the shapes on either side.

In this lesson, students build three-dimensional representations of shapes. They discuss attributes of their shapes, and predict if their shapes will roll, slide, or both.

Kindergartners need lots of opportunities to explore, investigate and to discuss the different properties of both two and three dimensional shapes. As students learn more geometric content, they will begin to be more sophisticated in their ways of thinking.

Students are asked to draw a set of two-dimensional shapes, and build three-dimensional shapes from clay. This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

This packet contains exit tickets for standards OA.7 and OA8. Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day.

In this lesson, students explore equality using the equal sign. They will first explore equality with sets or groups using the equal sign then move to exploring equality with equations. The lesson could be taught consecutively in one math block but may need to extend over multiple days depending on student understanding of the concept of equality, or having equal amounts. The lesson could also be modified or extended by repeating tasks and discussion with more emphasis on subtraction.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.Students need distributed practice of newly-learned skills to develop fluency, build proficiency, and deepen understanding. This file contains directions for activities which may be used as Cluster 4 games or math stations.

This resource is from NC Tools 4 Teachers. Here are parent letters to modify and send home before teaching Grade 3 Cluster 4.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  this lesson, students will count items in order to determine how many groups of tens are needed to make 100, 200, 300...  The students will determine the pattern of how many tens make a hundred and use that pattern to determine how many tens are needed to make 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900.  Lesson comes with printable materials.  Remix this lesson to provide extension ideas or samples of student work.

This lesson calls for students to compose congruent hexagons using smaller pattern block pieces. They will explain which arrangements of pattern block pieces compose a congruent hexagon, and count the number of smaller pieces that compose the "bigger" shape.

In this task, students are faced with a real world comparison situation. A scoring rubric is included. The task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, small groups of students play a game where they spin 3-digit numbers, build them using arrow cards, and compare the numbers.  Several extension activities and math centers are shared in this lesson. 

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.Students will play a game to practice reading and writing numbers within 1000 in different forms. They will use standard form, base-ten numerals (blocks), word form, and expanded form. A printable gameboard and game cards are provided.

This presentation explains the definition of fluency, the need for basic facts, tips for developing mastery of basic facts, and approaches for teaching computation strategies.

This lesson is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson students solve a problem where skip counting by 5s and 10s is required to solve a real world problem. Students have some previous practice with skip counting to numbers beyond 100.  Printable activity sheets are provided.
