Third
Grade: Examples
In order to meet students' individual needs or to assess a particular student the teacher may adjust the assignment of Math Boxes (e.g., assign only #s 2 and 4 to a specific student).
Teachers may also pull out a small group of students who who may be having difficulty with a concept that is being practiced in a particular math box. This way the teacher can match a strategy with the students. Adjusting the number range is a way of differentiating for students who need support and for those who may need to be challenged.
Examples:
Math Boxes, Grade 3, Lesson 2.6
- Write 5 names for 1000.
- Change the number to make it easier: Write 5 names for 100.
- Change the number to make it harder: Write 5 names for 1500.
- Use 5, 12, 17 and write the number family.
- Students may receive support by having partially filled number sentences to work from.
- Increase or decrease the number range.
Math Boxes, Grade 3, Lesson 2.7
- I spent $4.13 at the store. I gave the cashier $5.00. How much change should I receive? Draw the fewest number of coins possible to show the change I received.
- Providing students with play money and a chart with the coin values may be a manipulative support.
- Change the numbers to land on a multiple of 10 or 5. Ex. I spent $4.25 at the store. I gave the cashier $5.00. How much change should I receive?
