MA3-3WM old

Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another

MA3-6NA old

Selects and applies appropriate strategies for multiplication and division, and applies the order of operations to calculations involving more than one operation

MA3-RN-01 new

Applies an understanding of place value and the role of zero to represent the properties of numbers

MA3-RN-02 new

Compares and orders decimals up to 3 decimal places

MA3-RN-03 new

Determines percentages of quantities, and finds equivalent fractions and decimals for benchmark percentage values

MA3-AR-01 new

Selects and applies appropriate strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems

MA3-MR-01 new

Differentiation

Modifications

A variant of the game based on estimation can be done, where students have to estimate the correct answer to the problem in their head using mental strategies. This estimate is checked by another player using a calculator, and if the answer is within 20 (5 for 2 point questions), they receive the points.

EXTENSIONS

Groups of more advanced students could be given 7,8,9, or 10 sided for the cards where they generate their own questions.
