Question 3.8:
How do we use data to create, interpret and analyze a picture graph or bar graph?

suggested 1-2 weeks
Teacher Tip:
Consider using Open Middle and numberless word problems
Make sure students pay close attention to scale in a bar graph and key in a picture graph.
⊡Students will be able to reason abstractly, quantitatively, and model to represent and interpret data. (3.MD.3, MP2, MP4)
I can solve one and two step problems using information in bar graphs and picture graphs. (3.MD.3)
I can create a graph using measurement data (picture and bar graphs). (3.MD.3)
I can apply all four operations to real world situations in both one and two step word problems. (3.OA.8)
I can write an equation with a letter representing the unknown quantity. (3.OA.8)
I can justify my thinking and assess the reasonableness of my answer using mental math and estimation strategies. (3.OA.8)
I can use strategies to fluently multiply and divide within 100 (3.OA.7) (Expectation is that by the end of third grade, students know their multiplication and division facts)

Choose which strategy students need to practice. You may find that they need many, so start with one for a week or so, then move onto another. You are looking for efficient strategies, not mastery of all strategies. Students may find they prefer one strategy over another or change strategies for different problems. The goal is that they are flexibly using efficient strategies and are able to reason about numbers to fluently compute.
Addition Strategies (Review if needed)
Friendly number 2 & 3-digit numbers
Compensation add/subt 2
Subtraction Strategies (Review if needed)
Count on/think addition Less friendly numbers
Adjust to create easier problem mixture
Keep constant distance/difference mixture
Multiplication Strategies (main focus)
use x5 & x10 coin values
half & double Half & double
harder facts math flips harder facts
Division Strategies (main focus)
use multiplication/known facts Math Flips basic facts division

“Closure in a lesson does not mean to pack up and move on. Rather, it is a cognitive activity that helps students focus on what was learned and whether it made sense and had meaning.” How the Brain Learns Mathematics (2007) P. 104
There are many ways to wrap up and reflect the day's activities but this step is often overlooked or rushed. Purposely plan and allow time for students to have closure each day (even if it means setting a timer or daily alarm so you don't run out of time).

These are activities to give students mixed, spaced practice based on the big ideas for 3rd grade math.
These resource sheets are intended to reinforce procedures and concepts. They should not be used as a source of direct instruction or whole-group practice. Please select pages carefully based on your students' needs.
You may have students work on these with a partner, independently with an answer key to self-check (tip: use sheet protectors), or as a journal response. It is not necessary to have students complete a page every day- the intent is to have opportunities to spiral concepts for mixed practice, not do "busy" work.
