Mathematics - 3rd Grade

• Math 3 - Act. 12: Let's Slide, Flip and Turn
  Students will demonstrate their understanding of slides, flips, turns, and congruence using pentominos.
• Math 3 - Act. 13: Where Are We?
  This fun activity helps students become familiar with locating coordinates on a grid.
• May the Force Be With You
  This hands-on activity will help students understand that greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to change its motion.
• Nets
  Students will design and create patterns from grid paper to make boxes or cubes.
• Slides, Flips and Turns
  This geometry lesson teaches students to slide, turn, and flip shapes.

• Tangram Puzzles
  This two-part tangram example demonstrates the potential for high-quality experiences provided by computer 'shape' environments for students as they learn concepts described in the Geometry Standard. Describing figures and visualizing what they look like when they are transformed are important aspects of geometry in the lower grades.
