hird Grade Word Problem Activity - Choose the Operation

Help your third grade students become word problem wizards with this fun, interactive math game from iKnowIt.com! Students will put their word problem skills to the test as they decide which operation, addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, is needed to solve the word problem. Here are the learning objectives for this online math activity:

  • Solve two-step word problems using the four operations.
  • Decide whether addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division must be used to solve the given word problem.
  • Become confident and proficient identifying and using each of the four operations to solve word problems.

Students will fill in the blank with the correct solution to each word problem in this online math lesson. If students need a little extra help solving a word problem, they can click on the "Hint" button to view a written or pictorial clue that will help them decide whether to add, subtract, multiply, or divide without giving away the answer. When students get an answer wrong, a detailed explanation page will appear to guide them through the steps needed to obtain a correct response. As students progress through the math lesson, they will have plenty of opportunities to learn from past mistakes.

This third grade word problem game comes equipped with several features to help students make the most of their math practice session:

  • A read-aloud feature, indicated by the speaker icon in the upper-left corner of the practice screen, can be used by students if they wish to hear the question read out loud to them in a clear voice. This option is a fantastic resource for children who are auditory processors, as well as ESL/ELL students.
  • A progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of the practice screen shows students how many questions they have answered so far out of the total number of questions in the math activity.
  • A score-tracker lets students see how many points they have achieved for answering questions correctly.

All of these math features were designed to help your students achieve mastery of their math skills with our interactive math practice program.
