3rd Grade Summer Review Mathematics With Answers

Spartanburg School District 5
Summer Math Learning Packet
Students Entering Grade 3

The summer math activities will enable your child to review math concepts and reinforce skills learned this year. Just a few minutes each day spent "thinking and talking math" will help reinforce the math that has been learned and begin to bridge the foundation for extending to the concepts that will be developed next year. The goal is for your child to have fun thinking and working collaboratively to communicate mathematical ideas. While your child is working, ask him how the solution was found and why a particular strategy was chosen.

The math practice in this summer packet addresses 3 critical areas in grade 2:

1. extending understanding of base-ten notation

2. building fluency with addition and subtraction

3. using standard units of measure

4. describing and analyzing shapes.

The packet consists of 2 calendar pages, one for June and one for July, as well as directions for math games to be played at home. There are problems included for each day of the week, excluding weekends. Literature, worksheets, APPs and websites are also recommended to explore mathematics in new ways. We encourage your child to complete at least 15 math days each month. We hope your child will spend at least 10 minutes a day, 4 to 5 times a week, practicing math. Create a goal with your child to help him stay strong in math over the summer. For example, my child will aim to complete at least 200 minutes of math practice over the course of the summer and keep track of his learning in a math journal.

If the activities suggested don't seem to "fit your child" or you have your own websites/literature/math practice you would like to do, then feel free to substitute your own activities that better suit your child's needs or learning style.

Student mathematicians - keep your mathematics skills sharp and have a safe and enjoyable summer. J

DIRECTIONS:

Do your best to complete as many of these summer math activities as you can! Record your work in your math journal every day. In August, share your Math Journal with your third grade teacher.

Each journal entry should :

ü Have the date of the entry

ü Have a clear and complete answer

ü Be neat and organized

Here is an example of a "Great" journal entry:

Text Box: June 26, 2014 Today I found 3 different ways to make $1.00. First I used 3-quarters, 2-dimes, and 1-nickel to total $1.00. Next I had 5-dimes, and 2-quarters and this also totaled $1.00. Finally I had 2-quarters, 2-dimes, and 6-nickels. These are the three different ways I combined coins to make $1.00.

Games To Play : (You will need a regular deck of cards)

1. Compare- Addition and Subtraction

Pass out all the cards to players. Each player flips over two cards. Add or subtract the two numbers showing. Players compare their values and the person with the higher value wins all four cards.

2. Close to 100

Deal 6 cards to each player. Use any 4 of your cards to make two 2- digit numbers. (Aces = 1; Jacks, Queens, & Kings = WILD cards, stand for any digit 0-9) Try to make a combination that when added is close to or exactly 100.

5 4 3 A 8 3

You combine 48 and 53 to make 101. Your score is 1 since the difference between 101 and 100 is 1. You make a recording sheet in your journal like this,

Round 1: 48 + 53 = 101 Score 1

Put the cards you used in the discard pile. Keep the other two for the next round. Pick up four more cards and play 5 rounds. Add the score to each round. The lowest score after 5 rounds wins.

Other games to play : Checkers, Othello, Memory, Set, jigsaw puzzles, Parcheesi, Crazy Eights, Connect Four, Legos, KʼNex.
