🧮 3rd Grade · Math3.OA.C.7Unit 3: Properties & multiplication facts

Facts of 3, 4 and 6

Google Classroom

🎯 Objective: Students use doubling and known facts to learn 3s, 4s and 6s.

Lesson outline

  1. Warm-up: skip-count by 3s to 30 with a clap on every multiple.
  2. Model “double a double” for 4s (4 × 7 = 2 × 7 doubled = 28) and “double the 3s” for 6s (6 × 8 = 3 × 8 doubled = 48).
  3. Partner game: roll a die for one factor, pull a 3, 4 or 6 card for the other, say the product and the strategy.
  4. Exit: 6 × 7, 4 × 8, 3 × 9 — write the strategy next to each.
