About This Product

This is a 3rd Grade Math Review Game.

The possibilities for use of these cards are endless! Rather than give instructions for a single game to play, I thought it would benefit you more if I gave you ideas for how you might use them in your own classroom. We all know that no two classrooms are created equal and I want you to feel the FREEDOM that comes with this set of cards…

Brainstorm #1: This is How I use these cards

The whole-class format. For one week (usually 4 days) I choose 20 questions per day. I number them and hang them around the room. Each student gets a work mat (included in this pack) on which to solve problems and write answers. Students are allowed 2 minutes at each station (maybe 3 depending on the questions). When all students have reached every station, we go through the problems as a class, discuss possible misunderstandings, and they keep a tally of how many they got correct (for their eyes only). At the end of the week, the students tally up how many questions they got correct so they can bask in their awesomeness. I take the tallies so I can see how they’ve done and reteach what I feel needs some extra attention before the end of school.

Brainstorm #2

The classic “Jeopardy” format. Put these cards in an array on the board, separate the kids into groups, each group gets a question, one point for a correct answer…

Brainstorm #3

The partner quiz format. Put kids in partners, give them each a stack of cards, they ask each other one question at a time. Whoever gets more answers correct is the winner.

Brainstorm #4

Use throughout the year format. Use the cards as a review at the end of each domain. They’re color-coded based on the domain, making it easy to fish out what you need at any given time of the year!

Brainstorm #5

Quick thinking problems. Use as students are coming in, as tickets out the door, or during self starters or morning work. Just choose a problem and post it on the board. The word problems are particularly nice for self starters.

Brainstorm #6

Make lots of copies in all your spare time (just a little joke, there), laminate them, and put them on key-rings for early finishers to use for practice.
