How to Use This Pack

One page to give on the first day of the unit on rounding, adding and subtracting, before any teaching. Its six questions are on the 3rd grade work the unit builds on: rounding three-digit numbers to the nearest ten and hundred, adding and subtracting in columns within 1,000, estimating, and a one-step story problem. It has a Score line, and the key names the lesson each question leads into. The unit review and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Give the pre-check on the first day and sort the class by what they missed: a student who cannot yet regroup with three digits needs base-ten blocks before five and six digits, and one who misses the rounding needs number lines before rounding to larger places. Nothing on the page goes past 1,000, so it shows what each student brings to the unit.

At Home

Use it to see what your child needs before the unit starts: add and subtract three-digit numbers together, and round prices to the nearest ten and hundred dollars.

Tips for Success

  • Give it before the first lesson, not after
  • Read the score as a starting point, not a grade
  • Keep base-ten blocks out for a student who missed the regrouping
  • The key names the lesson each question leads into

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 3.NBT.A.1 Use place value to decide which ten or hundred a whole number is closest to, and round to it.
  • 3.NBT.A.2 Add and subtract to 1,000 fluently using place-value strategies and written methods, properties of addition, and fact-family relationships.
