How to help with this skill

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

  • Read the story once for meaning and again for quantities.
  • Ask what is known and what is missing; draw a quick model.
  • Write an equation, solve it, and label the answer with units.

Try this: Tell the story back without the numbers before solving it.
