GETTING STARTED
The goal of this game is for pairs of students to work together cooperatively to find missing addends. Teams try to get Tic Tac Toe before their opponents get it.
Each team draws nine (9) cards from the deck. They use those cards in the order drawn to create an addition sentence/problem in which three 3-digit numbers are added.
ExampleThe team figures out their sum and then turns over three of the cards in a diagonal row and displays the sum to the opposing team.
Player 1 turned over these nine cards: 4, 7, 9, 3, 2, 1, 8, 7, and another 2. The problem he creates is:
4 7 9
3 2 1
+ 8 7 2
---------1 6 7 2
ExampleThe other team now has the opportunity to figure out the missing addends. When they figure them out, they tell their opponents the missing addends. If they are correct, they may put one X mark on a Tic Tac Toe gameboard.
7 9
3 1
+ 8 7
---------1 6 7 2
The other team now has their chance to figure out the missing addends in a math problem created by their opponents and to add an O to the Tic Tac Toe board.
Play continues until the Tic Tac Toe game is completed.

Subject: Math
Grade: 3
Lesson Objective: To use multiplication and division to solve word problems
Common Core Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.3- Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Materials:
Printable Student Handout Worksheet
Starter:
Say:
What is the difference between multiplication and division? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
Today you are going to be solving word problems using multiplication and division.
When you are solving word problems, what are some of the key words to look for? (Allow the students to answer)
Some of the key words that might be used in words problems that use multiplication are by, double, every, product and times.
Some of the key words that might be used in word problems that use division are as much as, how many in each, quotient and share something equally.
To solve a word problem, you first need to understand the situation that is being described.
Then, you need to figure out what you are supposed to be solving. You can do this by drawing a picture or writing an equation or word sentence with a circle where the missing information would go.
Now, you are going to be doing some word problems. All of the word problems will use either multiplication or division. When you are done, we will go over all of the answers.
Does anyone have any questions?

Lesson Objective: To learn about where frogs life, the life cycle of frogs and then answer questions about the life cycle
Standard: 2-LS4-1: Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
Materials:
Printable Student Worksheet Handout
Starter:
Say:
Have you ever seen a frog? What do you know about them? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
There are many different types of frogs. Frogs are animals that are in amphibians. They live the first part of their lives in the water and the last part of their lives on land.
All of that is part of their life cycle. A life cycle shows the changes that happen to a living thing as it moves through its life.
Some living things, like plants and butterflies, go through many changes during their life cycle that change the way that they look. Other living things, like people, only get bigger.
The life cycle of a person starts when you are a baby. You are born as a baby, then you grow into a child and then an adult. As an adult, you are able to have a baby and the life cycle starts again.
People look the same from the time they are born until they grow to be adults. We have all of the same body parts when you are born that you have when you grow up.
Did you know that there are some animals that have different body parts when they are born and when they grow up?
Raise your hand if you think that you can describe the life cycle of a frog. (Allow the students to answer).
You are going to read about the life cycle of a frog, just like the frog in The Frog Prince.
You are then going to answer questions about what you have read.
