Grade 3 Math
Multiplication -
I have put the book, Multiply on the Fly, into your Epic Reading mailbox.
Read the book. As you go through each page, write out the repeated addition and the multiplication sentence. I've highlighted the examples in blue.
The first page is Fireflies. Since it's 9 X 1, you write the repeated addition:
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 9
And for the multiplication write
9 X 1 = 9 remember, the first number is always how many groups there are.
The next is dragonflies. Write the repeated addition.
2+2+2+2+2=10
Then the multiplication
5 X 2 = 10
Continue until you finish the book.
Math Game of the week:
Math Game of the Week:
Get out your sidewalk chalk and draw a calculator on the driveway, or sidewalk to practice your math facts. If you don't have chalk, make an alternative. If you can't do this, draw it out in dirt with a stick, or tape it out on the patio. Practice your addition, subtraction, and multiplication - hop out the questions, and the answers.

Word Problems -
Word problems are most easily done by drawing a picture, especially for smaller numbers.
For the activity today, the goal is showing understanding of how to represent the problem:
through a picture
or
through mathematical representation
or
both
It depends on the way your child is best able to find the answer. They might even need to physically create the groupings with little pebbles, and then draw the problem.
Example:
Joh has 3 friends. He wants to give each one 3 drawings. How many drawings will Joh have to make?
