3rd Grade Math Power Pix

Common rain Teaching Kate i k s w o B WholeBrainTeaching.com Third Grade Math Power Pix Developed by Kate Bowski Design & idea created by Chris Biffle For more information, visit Whole Brain Teaching Third Grade Math Power Pix This document highlights 30 topics specific to 3rd grade Math as defined by the Common Core State Standards Based on an idea conceived by Chris Biffle, founder of Whole Brain Teaching, these pictures can be used to actively teach students the core concepts of a 3rd grade math program Each Power Pix references the standards in which the word is addressed: Operations & Algebraic Thinking (OA), Number & Operations in Base 10 (NBT), Number & Operations – Fractions (NF), Measurement & Data (MD) and Geometry (G) Using Power Pix and Whole Brain Teaching methods, learning becomes multimodal, thereby solidifying the concepts in students’ brains When used as a teaching tool, the Power Pix help the teacher with gestures and definitions to attach to each concept Whether printed out or projected on a screen, these Power Pix give the students a visual reference for all major Math concepts When posted in the room, the Power Pix become an interactive resource for students to use as a review tool Imagine filling every spare moment of classroom time by having students review with each other content specific topics Now that’s maximizing instruction! The following slide shows how to use each pix Common Core Standard Operations & Algebraic Thinking (OA) Number & Operations in Base Ten (NBT) Number & Operations – Fractions (NF) Measurement & Data (MD) Geometry (G) Question and Answer for the topic Grade Level Concept Word – colors represent syllables to help students with pronunciation Picture(s) representing the key word of the standard Gesture The red background on these slides identifies them as part of math concepts Language Arts concepts have a blue background Sample Power Pix Lesson Each WBT lesson follows a format Question – tell students the question and they repeat Answer – give the answer with a gesture Expand – use examples to scaffold instruction about concept Evaluate – quick assessment to guide instruction Critical Thinking – students begin to internalize the concept Question: What is multiplication? Answer: Multiplication is putting together equal groups   Gesture: Cross arms like an X (multiplication) Clasp hands together (putting together) Put one arm horizontal over the other like an equal sign (equal groups)   Teaching Suggestions: Connect repeated addition to the concept of multiplication Students write multiplication problems for pictures projected on the board Begin to introduce “factor” and “product” Share problems using Oral Writing Students draw a picture of equal groups and then write an equation for it Given a multiplication problem, students create a story problem to match Students draw arrays for given multiplication problems   Sample Power Pix Lesson (con’t.) Q/T: Multiplication is putting together equal groups Factors are the answers to multiplication problems Products are the answers to multiplication problems The times sign means “groups of” + = 10 is an example of a multiplication problem x means groups of   Critical Thinking: Encourage students to speak complete sentences explaining multiplication (3 x = 15 because .) Factors are like factories because Multiplication is more efficient than addition because Multiplication is repeated addition For example, Factors and products are like main ideas and details because _   Words Included in Math Power Pix Addition, array, area, associative property, attribute, bar graph, compare, commutative property, data, denominator, distributive property, division, equivalent fraction, factor, fraction, line plot, mass, multiple, multiplication, numerator, perimeter, place value, picture Question: What is addition? Answer: Addition is putting together NBT.A.2 Gesture: Cross arms like a plus sign (addition) Clasp hands together (putting together) Third Grade Question: What is an array? Answer: A square or rectangular pattern made up of rows and columns OA.A.3 Gesture: Draw a rectangle in the air with finger Move one hand right to left (rows) and then up and down (columns) Third Grade Question: What is area? Answer: The surface inside a shape MD.C.5 Gesture: Draw a square in the air then “wipe” the inside of it with the other hand Third Grade Question: What is a line plot? Answer: A number line showing data MD.B.3 Gesture: Draw a line in the air (number line) Draw tallie marks in the air (data) Third Grade Question: What is mass? Answer: The amount of matter in an object MD.A.2 Gesture: Hold hands out, palms facing up Move them up and down in opposite directions Third Grade Question: What is a multiple? Answer: The numbers we say when we skip count OA.A.3 Gesture: Make a “hopping” motion with your index finger moving from right to left Third Grade Question: What is multiplication? Answer: Multiplication is putting together equal groups OA.A.3 Gesture: Cross arms like an X (multiplication) Clasp hands together (putting together) Put one arm horizontal over the other like an equal sign (equal groups) Third Grade Question: What is a numerator? Answer: The top number in a fraction that represents the part NF.A.1 Third Grade Gesture: Put one fist over the other (represents numerator and denominator) Wiggle the top fist Question: What is perimeter? Answer: The distance around an object MD.D.8 3.G.A.1 Gesture: Draw a triangle in the air Third Grade Question: What is place value? Answer: The value of a digit based on its position in a number NBT.A.1 Third Grade Gesture: Hold up fingers 1, 2, (value of a digit) Move hand across front of body as if drawing small lines to show ones, tens, hundreds (position in a number) Question: What is a picture graph? Answer: A graph using pictures to show data MD.B.3 Gesture: Pretend to take a picture Draw tallies in the air (data) Third Grade Question: What is a product? Answer: The answer to a multiplication problem OA.A.1 Third Grade Gesture: Point index fingers, one on chin, the other a little lower Then point them in a forward direction away from chin (Sign language for “answer”.) Then cross arms like an X (multiplication) Question: What is a property? Answer: A special characteristic OA.B.5 Gesture: Hold up hands and rub fingers together as if feeling something in each hand Then flatten hands out, palms down (Sign language for “characteristic”.) Third Grade Question: What is a quadrilateral? Answer: A sided shape 3.G.A.1 Gesture: Hold up fingers then draw a rectangle in the air Third Grade Question: What is a quotient? Answer: The answer to a division problem OA.2 Gesture: Point index fingers, one on chin, the other a little lower Then point them in a forward direction away from chin (Sign language for “answer”.) With palms together, “slice” hands downward (division) Third Grade NBT.A.1 Question: What is rounding? Answer: To give the closest value of a number using multiples of 10 Gesture: Hold up thumb and index finger as if showing something small (closest value) Move finger across front of body as if it was hopping (multiples) Hold up 10 fingers Third Grade Question: What is subtraction? Answer: Subtraction is taking away NBT.A.2 Third Grade Gesture: Hold up arm so it is horizontal (subtraction) Hold up fingers on one hand and on the other Move one hand backward to show taking away Question: What is volume? Answer: A measure for liquids MD.A.2 Gesture: Make a looping motion with one hand (like an wave of water) Third Grade ...Third Grade Math Power Pix Developed by Kate Bowski Design & idea created by Chris Biffle For more information, visit Whole Brain Teaching Third Grade Math Power Pix This document...
