Third Grade Games

Fraction Matching allows players to show what they know when partitioning fractions. Players will be flipping over two cards at a time to see if the image that is flipped over corresponds with the fraction card that is shown. Children make visual connections between written and drawn fractions. Fraction Matching can be a competition against a partner, or simply independent practice for children to challenge themselves. Students are encouraged to critically think about each card that is flipped over to help deepen their mathematical understanding. Print t the fraction cards, and get to matching!

Guess the Number is designed to help children understand whole numbers, recognize numbers, and sense patterns. Children are encouraged to find the total number of an item that is in two or more groups. Children can group numbers to find a total amount. They are also able to divide a whole number by another number to see if a number is divisible. Children are encouraged to use any method (drawing, counting, etc) to help them solve these questions. Parents should encourage and help their children if they do get stuck on either a multiplication card or a division card. Put on your thinking cap and get ready to have fun!

What is...Math? focuses on 3rd-grade topics within mathematics including multiplication, measurement, perimeter, area, place value, and fractions. Players will get into teams and choose which category and points they want to play for. As they click on the point value under each category, it will take the players to a math problem that needs to be solved. As the players answer correctly, they will receive more points. This game is adapted from the well-known game show, Jeopardy.
