I used this resource after introducing fact families. We did it as a craft for our bulletin board creating a Fact Family Neighbourhood! Student have to pick 3 numbers that are fact family (I gave them a few options to use)  and write them in the circles on the roof. Then, complete the fact family, color the house and cut it to place it on our bulletin :)

I use this exit ticket for the unit of fact families. Students have to look at each fact family and decide whether they are correct or incorrect and circle the correct answer. It is a very simple way to check if they understood the concept or not ;)

This project is to be completed during all the unit of Solar System.
You might want to complement it with videos and Power Points, or any other source of information, because the idea is for students to take notes of thing that catch their attention about the Sun and Planets, and in the end they just colour and "build" the fact fan. If you want students to research, this is also a perfect project to get students started on it, but it needs to be really guided and give them the sources of information, to make sure they are reliable.
My 3rd graders really enjoyed this project, they learnt to take notes and they also acquired more autonomy.

They way I did it, was that I gave them 2 options: The fact fan (this project) and also a mobile (that is also uploaded) and they chose the one they wanted to do. Both booklets are organized in such a way that students have to do exactly the same thing in both, but the "format" of the final project changes. Students were also very enthusiastic about having the option to choose their final project.

What a fun game to play! The classic memory match game, only this time, it helps us to work on addition with visual representation and the addition fact.

Instructions for the teacher:
-Print the first 2 pages of dominoes and addition facts to practice sum up to 9.
-Print the 4 pages of dominoes and addition facts to practice sum up to 18.
-I always recommend to cut only the boarders and paste them on construction paper. After that I cut each card and laminate it so they can last.
-Make as much copies as groups of students.
-Keep the cards organize separating them with clips or elastic bands.

Instructions for the game:
-Divide the classroom in groups of 3-4 students, give each group a set of cards.
-The students have to lay all of the cards upside-down on the table and mix them up.
-For deciding on which students start, I usually use different techniques (e.g: the oldest on the group, the one with the closer birthday, the one with fewer siblings, the one with more pets, etc) or they can choose.
-Each turn the student have to pick 2 cards, if they get a matching pair they keep it, and if not, they have to return the cards to the group.

The student with more pairs wins!

In this game, you have a set of 30 cards. You can print and cut all of them and for the activity you paste each card on each student table. Then, the students will move from desk to desk around the classroom. At each desk, students will read the math fact card and write the answer on the grid worksheet. When the teacher says “SCOOT,” they move to the next desk. Students visit each desk in the classroom and answer all of the question cards. Includes an answer grid that you have to print one copy per student and an answer key.

Students get to play to become a teacher!
I love this resource for the students, usually I would thell them is their turn to correct some exercises.
The idea is they have to look carefully at each addition, some of them are correct and some are not.
If the addition fact is correct they have to circle with red the sum and if it's incorrect they have to cross with blue the sum.

A very simple but entertaining game to practice basic addition.
Divide the classrom in pairs of students, give each pair a copy of the worksheet and two dice.

How to play:
1. Player 1 rolls two dice. He or she adds the numbers together to find the sum. Player 2 does the same. Circle the math fact with the highest total. The player with the highest total wins the round.
2. Play all 15 rounds. The player that wins the most rounds, wins the game.
