3rd Grade Guided Math

3rd Grade Guided Math includes fifteen units covering all third grade math standards. The units included range from beginning the year with rounding and addition and subtraction, to ending the year with measurement. Your students will learn multiplication and division basics and then how to apply those concepts. The units can be taught in any order because they are independent of each other. So you can match them up to your district’s pacing.

I hope this resource can save you a lot of time. With all of your lesson plans written, and resources gathered in one place, this will help you gain back some of your precious free time this school year!

Guided Math is intended for small group instruction done by the teacher. These lessons are designed to be done as targeted instruction in a group setting, but teachers may choose to use some of the materials in whole group lessons as well. Need to edit your lesson plans? There is a separate file that includes all of the plans in an editable format.

Prepping for Guided Math:

 
Vocabulary and definitions for third grade math
 

Vocabulary cards, definitions, and questions from the lessons are provided to display. You can put these in a pocket chart, or have them out on the table while you are teaching a lesson.

Posters and other printables for guided math
Printables are intended to be used to support instruction and provide students with hands on tools, posters, templates, and more that can help them understand whatever topic you are covering.
Daily practice pages for guided math lessons
A practice page is included for each day and covers the objective taught this day. Use this during your small group lesson to check for understanding, or make it a part of your rotations!
3rd Grade Guided Math Center Activities

Extension activities are also included for each day. These can be used after students have been taught the day’s lesson. You can add them to your rotations or centers.

Extra resources to support guided math lessons

Additional resources are provided to support your instruction. These resources vary from foldables, to games, to extra practice.

Guided math unit day by day overview

One of my favorite things in the Guided Math units are the unit overviews. Try color coding how well your class did with a lesson as you teach them. Save every unit overview and when its time to review for state testing, you know exactly what objectives to spend the most time reinforcing.

Similar pre and post assessments to measure growth

 The pre and post assessments included in each unit can be used to directly compare your students’ growth. They are similar enough, but use different problems.

  1. When do you anticipate completing the bundle? So far, my kids are doing great with the rounding unit!!

  2. Hi Tabitha! I'm glad your students are enjoying the rounding unit! I have already uploaded the first six units. Look for the rest to be uploaded as I complete them. I will announce it on Facebook as I finish each unit. I intend that the bundle will be finished this fall!

  4. Hi Cassandra!

    Thank you for the amazing resources! I have a quick question in regards to setting up guided math, this will be my first year teaching 3rd grade and our math block is only 1 hour long unfortunately. My third grade team also switches students for math meaning between all 5 of us third grade teachers, we divide students by levels and each teacher ends up getting a class of students all at a certain level. I would really like to have centers, so I am trying to figure out the best way to set guided math up. Thank you!

  5. Hi Paola! Since you only have one hour, I would have students come in and start with a problem of the day. This would help them get quietly settled in your room and you could spend about 5 minutes together solving the problem. Then, I would divide them into 3 groups and spend about 15 minutes with each small group. I would have centers for your other two rotations when students are not with you. That would leave about 10 minutes at the end of the hour block where you could have them clean up, come back together whole group, and address any class concerns with the objective from the day. You could also use that time to do a ticket out the door, practice page, or fluency as a group. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
