How to help with this skill

Third graders begin to use multiplication, division, fractions and measurement regularly. Discuss which operation fits the question.

  • Notice parentheses and multiplication before addition or subtraction when appropriate.
  • Solve one step at a time and write the intermediate result.
  • Read the expression again and verify with a different strategy.

Try this: Underline the first operation before calculating.
