All about these Third Grade Arithmetic Facts Practice Sheets

• Free downloads!! You can download these Third Grade Arithmetic Facts Practice Sheets for free from our

website: www.jamieyorkpress.com. On this website, there are also sheets designed for fourth and fifth

grade, as well as a bookstore (Making Math Meaningful

™

books) and online workshops for teachers.

• Facts of the Week! (See next page.) These sheets are the centerpiece of a 20-week program. Five new

facts are introduced each week (except for the first week). We recommend that the teacher writes the

week’s new facts on the board and works with these new facts in a variety of ways with the whole class one

day until the whole set of 100 sheets is completed. There are 20 weeks (100 days) of sheets in this set.

Each sheet has 30 problems.

• Completion. Since these sheets are designed to be an integral part of learning the arithmetic facts, it is

important that each sheet of the entire set be completed, otherwise certain facts won’t get adequate

exposure.

• Caution! This should be fun and easy for the students. If successful, their confidence will grow. If it is too

difficult, then it is likely that more work with the facts and the multiplication tables needs to be done with

the class as a whole. It is important to make sure that these sheets don’t become torture for the students.

Try to de-emphasize the importance of speed. Help the students to realize that improvement is the goal.

• Daily math practice:

• When the class is in a math main lesson, daily math practice should take about 30 minutes. The 30

arithmetic facts may take 3-5 minutes. After that, the remaining 25 minutes of math practice (during a

math main lesson) consists of the material that was brought in previous blocks and the current block.

• Mental arithmetic. The teacher may decide to read the first 6 problems from the practice sheet out loud.

• Extra math practice problems. The teacher should write a few extra problems on the board. The

students can copy these problems into their practice books and work out the answers. These problems

also include practice and review of material covered in previous math blocks.

• Challenge problems. Every day, there should be a challenging problem or two in order to keep the

advanced students fully engaged.
