    A 3rd grade child, has by now gained sufficient proficiency in understanding mathematics and is familiar with some of the math symbol involved. The approach of doing math is instilled in a third grader, and the mathematically proficient child starts to associate math with solving problems and discussing how they solved them.

    Third grade kids may use concrete objects or pictures to help them conceptualize a given problem. Children of this age develop the required math skills and can now put these in use.

    They understand the meaning of various quantities and how they are expressed. They can easily connect the quantities with written symbols and create a logical representation (which is a math equation)of the math problem at hand.

    Grade 3 mathematics helps in building the desired math skills and proficiency, by experimenting with multiple ways to represent problems, apart from using proper numbers and symbols to build mathematical word problems, the new to the list is making charts, lists or graphs etc.

     

    The mathematically proficient child in third grade should notice repetitive actions in computation and look for more shortcut methods. For example, a student may use commutative or associative property along with number lines to come to a conclusion.

    Grade 3 math addition problems deal with :

    Even and Odd Number Addition

    Example: Determining whether 6 is an even number or odd number.

    1. We can use buttons as math aids for problem solving. Start grouping them in pairs, if there is no single button left, then the number is even.  

    Even and odd activity

     

    2. We can try and break the number into two equal numbers. We can use buttons for this also. Let’s use the same example, number 6.

    Adding two odd numbers

    3. Determine the even or odd number by drawing rectangular boxes. If every box on the right matches a box on the left then the number is even.  We can use buttons again.

    Identifying even and odd number games

    Since none of the buttons are left unpaired, this means that 6 is an even number.

    An even number is an amount that can be made of two equal parts with no leftovers. An odd number is one that is not even or cannot be made of two equal parts.

     

    3rd grade math also mentions identifying patterns related to the properties of operations. Take for examples,

    • Even numbers can always be decomposed into 2 equal addends  (14 = 7 + 7).

    • An even number added to itself n number of times will result in an even number. (2+2= 4;   2+2+2= 6 ;         4+4+4+4 =16 ). In all these examples, 4,6, 16 all are even numbers.

    • On an addition chart, the sums in each row and column increase by the same amount.

    What patterns do you notice in this addition table? Explain why the pattern works this way?

    Addition table pattern

    Students need ample opportunities to observe and identify important numerical patterns related to operations. They should build on their previous experiences with properties related to addition and subtraction. Students investigate

    addition and multiplication tables in search of patterns and explain why these patterns make sense mathematically.

    Example:

    • Any sum of two even numbers is even.

    • Any sum of two odd numbers is even.

    • Any sum of an even number and an odd number is odd.

    • The doubles (2 addends the same) in an addition table fall on a diagonal

    Solve two-step word problems

    Keeping in mind that a third grade student can add up to 1000, we can design a two-step addition word problem.

    Take, for example, On a vacation, your family travels 267 miles on the first day, 194 miles on the second day and 34 miles on the third day. How many total miles did they travel?

    There can be different math strategies used for the addition  :

    Use Place value to add within 1000

     

    What is a place value?  

    A numerical value associated with a digit by virtue of its position in a number such as ones, tens, hundreds etc.

    For Example:

    There are 178 fourth graders and 225 fifth graders on the playground. What is the total number of kids on the playground?

    Now arranging the two numbers according to place values and adding individual place values together.

    Arranging 3 digit number in place value chart

    So, now adding the hundreds together, tens together and ones together to find the addition of these two numbers.

    So, total becomes, 300 + 90 + 13 = 403 kids

    Using Manipulatives

    The Rubik’s cube Addition: Adding three 3 digit numbers

    Rubik cube

    A Rubik cube can be used as a math number generator.

    The teacher should label the Rubik cube with numbers all over as shown in the picture. Now by turning the layers around, every time three different numbers will be generated.

    Ask the student to add up the three numbers displayed in their respective notebooks.

    This will make the addition of three digit numbers fun for the kids.

    If the addition is to be limited up to 1000, then the Rubik cube should be numbers between 1-4.
