3rd Grade Math: Multiplication and Division Part 2

Multiplication and division fluency is such an important skill for 3rd grade students.  In Unit 3 of the 3rd Grade Math Made Fun Curriculum, students learn and practice a variety of strategies to help them fully understand what multiplication and division are and how we use them in everyday life. Unit 4, students will focus on building fluency of multiplying and dividing numbers up to 100. When students can quickly come up with the correct answers to multiplication and division problems, they will be able to learn new concepts with ease. This unit is loaded with practice, practice, practice, and more practice to build strong multiplication and division fluency!

HOW DO I ORGANIZE THE UNITS?

I chose to store the math centers in Sterilite bins, because they don’t take up too much space. It is a tight fit, but I find that they work nicely for me.  However, if you choose, you could store the centers in a larger container as well. Within the bin, each math center is stored in a gallon–sized ziplock baggie.
