Multiplication and Division Math Reference Supports: Grade 3

While teaching third grade I noticed that my students need a lot of support with grasping and applying math concepts and strategies. These reference sheets are like cheat sheets for the math concepts and standards we cover in Operations and Algebraic Thinking.

Students glue the half sheets side by side into their math notebooks and take their notebooks home daily to assist in homework or study for an upcoming quiz or test. Parents find these math reference sheets helpful too because it gives them a better idea of what and how we are learning today’s math.

I put the larger 8.5 x 11 reference sheets on a math reference wall or bulletin board to support my teaching and my student’s learning. I also use these in my small math groups.

Includes:

•Focus Standards and Mathematical Practices

16 reference/cheat sheets in both full (8.5 x 11) and half sheets.

•The 4 Basic Operations

•Ways to Multiply

•Ways to Divide

•Arrays (multiplication)

•Arrays (division)

•Tape Diagrams/Bar Models (multiplication)

•Tape Diagrams/Bar Models (division)

•Factors

•Odd or Even?

•Do This First! (Parenthesis)

•The Multiplication Table

•Rules of Zero and One

•6’s Finger Tricks

•8’s Trick

•9’s Finger Tricks

•More 9’s Tricks

I hope these reference sheets are both helpful and useful to you and your students as they develop into mathematicians.
