Read Works!

Parents, this is where you will find weekly suggested learning activities for your child. You will need to follow the steps below to access our class activity page. These will change on a biweekly basis but you can always access other passages and question sets through your account.

Please feel free to extend these activities by having your child write about what they read, draw a picture or comic strip to depict what they read, create a character analysis, even do an external activity for them to connect the text to their real-world, and have them decide the THEME of each story.

Math Ideas

MULTIPLICATION MONDAY- • Make 7’s and 9’s flashcards. Find someone at your house to quiz you on them. • ROLL two DICE (ROLL TWO NUMBERS AND MULTIPLY) OR USING A DECK OF CARDS (PUT DECK FACE DOWN, FLIP TWO CARDS OVER AND MULTIPLY). Then write the fact family. Do this 10 times. (2x5=10, 5x2=10, 10/2=5,10/5=2)

TECH TUESDAY- • LOG ON TO YOUR FAVORITE MATH APP AND COMPLETE 30 MINUTES OF FUN! SEND YOUR TEACHER A PIC ON REMIND OF YOU MASTERING MATH SKILLS! IXL.Com will let you practice 10 math problems. You don’t have to have a membership. Just go to 3rd grade and click a skill. I think you can practice 10 problems a day.(Not positive) • DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO AN APP? MULTIPLICATION.COM HAS TONS OF FUN LEARNING GAMES! You can also print worksheets from multiplication.com to practice for later.

WACKY WEDNESDAY- • Create your own Array city. Make buildings of different sizes and the windows should represent an array. Write your multiplication fact on each building. (rows x columns) • Design an egg. Color it and write what fraction of your pictures is red, blue, etc…)Remember the denominator is your total number of parts and your numerator will be the number red, blue, or etc..)

THINKING THURSDAY- • Play flip and compare. Flip two cards. Make a fraction by putting the smaller number on top. Flip two more cards and put the smaller number on top to make a fraction.Compare the two fractions with greater than, less than, or equal signs. Check your work by cross multiplying.

Fun Friday Design your own egg hunt. Put math problems inside eggs. Hide them around your yard. When you find it, you must solve it. Design and egg or bunny. Write multiplication or division facts in your picture. Then make coloring directions for it. Ex: if the answer is 3, color that section purple.
