Unlock Math Mastery with JiJi: A Visual Learning Adventure for 3rd Graders! MIND Education's 3rd Grade Play Games page offers a dynamic collection of interactive math games designed to deepen conceptual understanding through visual learning. These games, part of the ST Math program, engage students in topics such as multiplication, division, and fractions. For instance, "How Many Legs Multiplication" helps students better understand multiplication as equal groups, while "Alien Bridge Fractions" uses visual models to represent unit and non-unit fractions. Each game encourages problem-solving and critical thinking, making math both accessible and enjoyable for third graders.
tag(s): division (108), fractions (179), game based learning (290), multiplication (132), place value (43)
In the Classroom
Begin a math block by letting students choose a JiJi game from the site related to your current topic (e.g., fractions or multiplication). After 10-15 minutes of gameplay, hold a quick share-out where students explain the math strategy they used in the game. After playing a game like Alien Bridge Fractions, have students write or draw in their math journals to reflect on what they learned. Prompts may include: "What was challenging about today's game?" or "How did the visuals help you understand the math?" The math journal may be created online using Book Creator, reviewed here. Link a game to a real-world scenario. For example, after playing "How Many Legs Multiplication?", have students create a zoo brochure using Canva Edu, reviewed here showing how many legs different animals would have in groups, using multiplication to support their math.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Guide students in making paper spinners to explore how shape and size affect flight. Have students test different designs and record which spinner falls the slowest or spins the longest. Tie this into Earhart's role as a pilot and the science behind aircraft movement. Set up a simple experiment where students compare mass and weight using scales and small objects. Connect the concept to Earhart's long-distance flights and the importance of fuel and weight in aircraft design. Using rubber bands, cardboard, and paper, have students design and test their own paper plane launchers. Challenge them to modify their planes for distance or accuracy, and relate the activity to innovation in aviation. After completing the science activities, students can create a comic strip using Free Comic Strip Maker reviewed here or an illustrated poster that highlights both Amelia Earhart's accomplishments and one science concept they explored (e.g., gravity or aerodynamics).Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Embark on a cosmic journey with your students using WQED's Earth and Space Science collection on PBS LearningMedia--a treasure trove of engaging, standards-aligned resources designed to bring the universe into your classroom. This curated collection offers a wide array of multimedia content, including videos, interactive lessons, and hands-on activities, covering topics from lunar phases and planetary exploration to Earth's dynamic systems. Notable resources include the "Moon Phases Simulation Viewed from Earth and Space," which helps students visualize lunar cycles, and the "Grades 7-8: Mission to Mars" activity, where students prepare for a simulated Mars mission, integrating science with math and language arts. These resources are tailored to support diverse learning styles and aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, making them an excellent tool for educators seeking to inspire curiosity and deepen understanding of Earth and space sciences.

In the Classroom
Use the "Moon Phases Simulation Viewed from Earth and Space" video to kick off a hands-on demo. Have students model moon phases using a flashlight (sun), a ball (moon), and their head (Earth). Have students observe the sky each day for a week, recording weather patterns, moon visibility, or changes in daylight. Tie in video clips about Earth's atmosphere or seasonal changes. They can digitally record their information in Google Slides, reviewed here or Visme, reviewed here. Guide students through the "Mission to Mars" activity, where they research Mars, design a space rover, and write a team mission statement. Integrate reading, writing, and STEM components.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Play the game as a class on the smartboard, having teams take turns answering questions and making decisions. Use it as an exciting review day or end-of-unit celebration. Customize the escape room puzzles with questions from your current unit (math problems, vocabulary definitions, science facts, etc.). Students must correctly solve each one to earn a gem and move closer to defeating the dragon. As students progress through the dungeon, have them keep a digital journal using Book Creator, reviewed here or a paper journal reflecting on their team's strategies, what worked, and how they solved each puzzle.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Divide the class into teams and play as a whole group. Each team answers a timed question; if the answer is correct, they roll and move their piece. A perfect activity for end-of-week content wrap-ups. Create historical or geographical questions tied to a unit. Each correct answer helps students move forward, reinforcing key facts while making the learning process enjoyable. Have students design their own board based on what they've learned in a unit. They can write questions, create a key for Snakes and Ladders, and then play each other's games.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
