Help your students solve math facts with ease, speed, and accuracy!
Building Math Fluency, Grade 3 reviews addition and subtraction strategies and presents multiplication and division strategies that help students approach computation in logical, strategic, and successful ways! You'll love the ease and convenience of presenting each strategy—transparencies, teacher overview pages, student practice pages, reproducible number facts tests, and flashcards give you all the tools you need.
Grade 3 reviews addition and subtraction strategies and introduces new strategies such as:
- Times 2 is double the number
- Times 3 is double the number and one more set.
- Times 4 is Times 2 + Times 2.
- Times 5 is half of Times 10.
- Times 7 is Times 5 + Times 2.
- See Times Nine, Think Times Ten and subtract Times 1
- A number divided by two is half the number.
- Think multiplication to solve division problems.

About this series
Available titles: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grades 4-6+
Mathematics standards frequently contain terminology such as "numerical fluency," "computational accuracy," and "automaticity." These standards recognize that the ability to solve math facts quickly and accurately is an important part of mathematical learning.
The core of Building Math Fluency is the presentation and practice of computational strategies that provide students with tools for thinking about mathematical operations in logical ways.
What's a computational strategy?
Computational strategies are ways to think about math facts which lead to more efficient computation because they are based on key number relationships and number properties.
For example, one strategy is "See Nine, Think Ten." Since adding 10 to a number is easier than adding 9, students learn to add 10 and subtract 1. So for 23 + 9, the thought process is, "23 + 10 = 33; subtract 1 and the answer is 32."
Rather than simply memorizing facts or resorting to slower processes, students are given ways to think about operations that lead to quicker and more fluent computation.
Each book comes with everything you need to strengthen computational skills:
- 5 Transparencies help you introduce and review strategies and lead class lessons efficiently and effectively.
- Teacher overview pages present each strategy with tips on when to apply them for maximum success.
- Engaging practice pages use a variety of activities to present, practice, and reinforce each computational strategy.
- Review pages ask students to apply their new strategies by completing activities in which they choose the most effective strategy for solving a particular problem.
- Math facts tests, that may or may not be timed, give students focused, repetitive practice that can be used multiple times to build automaticity.
- Flashcards, provided in a reproducible format, give each student their own set of facts to practice and memorize.
- An answer key makes checking student work a breeze.
- Additional teacher resources: student assessment record charts at grades 1 and 2 help you track student progress; at grades 4–6+, student guides for how-to-study math facts aide students in taking charge of their own learning.
Each of the four books increase in difficulty:
Grade 1: Students practice addition and subtraction facts
Grade 2: Students practice addition and subtraction facts
Grade 3: Students practice addition and subtraction facts and are introduced to multiplication and division
Grades 4–6 +: Student review addition and subtraction facts and focus more on multiplication and division
