3rd Grade Math Scope & Sequence

Differentiation in Action

Think-Pair-Share: Before teaching the 3-2 Visual Learning Bridge, pair students. Student A uses counters to make an array that has 3 rows that has up to 10 counters in each row. Then, Student A explains the array to Student B. “My array has three rows. Each row has seven counters.” Keeping the same number of counters in each row, Student B moves some of the counters to show a way to break apart the array into two smaller arrays. Student B explains the smaller arrays. “One array has two rows of seven counters. The other array has one row of seven counters.” Pick A Project : Project 3C, Congress and the Presidency, extension asks students to write to explain how they used, or could use, the Distributive Property to help fnd their answers.
