Common Core math · 3rd grade
Multiply and divide within 100 fluently, and know the facts to 10 × 10.
3.OA.C.7 is part of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. These 4 games practice it. Standards vary by state, so check with your kid’s teacher for the exact match.
Kangaroo Hops: A kangaroo makes equal hops along a number line, so 4 × 3 is three hops of four. Kids say where it lands, write the multiplication, work out how many hops, then take on harder facts and word problems.
Times Table Tower: Each fact adds a block to a tower. Facts come in families: 2s, 5s and 10s first, then 3s and 4s, 6s and 7s, 8s and 9s, and finally all facts to 10 × 10. A miss gives a trick for that fact before the next try.
Mystery Factor: Each problem is a detective case with a hidden number under a card. Kids find missing factors, pick facts that belong to a fact family, divide, and solve word problems. A miss opens a clue panel with the equal groups drawn out.
Fair Share: At a picnic, kids share cookies equally among friends and pack crayons into boxes, the two meanings of division. Then come fact families, division facts and problems with leftovers.
