3rd Grade Math Journal

3rd Grade Differentiated Math Journal

I enjoy working with math journals as warm-up activity with my students. Since the students in the special education setting generally need plenty of spiraling review  and lots of practice with common core type questions, I created a math journal for them. It has 30, 3rd grade math questions, pulled from objectives from the common core. Come August, that should get us off to a good start with our math journals!  

How are these math journal differentiated?

One journal is designed for an open ended response, the other has multiple choice answers. Same questions, but two different ways to answer!  The answer key is provided. 

 I always like to include cover sheets when I give my students packets. It helps them identify what I am talking about when I give directions.  

I like the versatility of the math journal pages. In addition to math journaling with one group, I plan to use them for test preparation for another.  Since there are 30 questions with enough space for students to show their work, they could also be used as an assessment for progress monitoring. In an effort to save paper, I printed 2 pages of the PDF on one sheet and I thought, "Sweet! I just made task cards!" So yes, I will definitely get my use out of my  "3rd Grade Differentiated Math Journal"

Ways to Promote Summer Reading!

1. Have lots of books around! Take your kids to the library or the bookstore (new or used), yard sales or to a local thriftshop. Pick out books, magazines or comics that are of interest to your children. Joining reading incentive programs and educational activities at the local library is a great way to enrich your kids and promote social reading. Go to the library every week if you can.
2. Take books along with you. Make sure your kids see you reading, while you are waiting, at the beach and  at home. Read to your child and have them read to you. Talk about books you like, talk about why you liked them!
3. Make reading enjoyable. Enjoying a old favorite is fine. Children learn more about the structure of literature and improve fluency with re-reads! Books that appear "too young" are fine, as long as reading is pleasureable. Make appropriate leveled books available too.
4. Make the time! This is perhaps the hardest thing, as schedules fill up with sports, cookouts, trips and movies. Make time for reading everyday, perhaps part of an evening or bedtime routine. Swapout movies for books on a rainy day!

Fill your summer with reading and you will encourage kids to become life long readers!
