• Demonstrate their understanding of determining the unknown whole number  by playing "Match It and Snatch It!"

CCSS: 3.OA.A4

Skills: Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Division, Equal Groups, Partitive Division, Quotative Division, Interpreting Quotients, Repeated Subtraction, and Repeated Addition

Description: Do your 3rd graders need to spend more time "thinking" about division and interpreting quotients?  We are guessing so!  In this interactive and engaging bundle of lessons, your students will:

• Work in collaborative partnerships
• Practice key math vocabulary (dividend, divisor, and quotient)
• Explain division as a set of objects partitioned into an equal number of shares
• Identify parts of division equations  and interpret quotients in division. (32 ÷ 4 = 8 can be 4 groups with 8 items in each group or 8 groups with 4 items.)
• Demonstrate their understanding of these skills by playing an interactive game
