Building on Ready Instruction, Ready Practice and Problem Solving encourages students to reason, use strategies, solve extended problems, and engage in collaborative learning to extend classroom learning. Designed for flexibility, Ready Practice and Problem Solving can be used for homework, independent classroom practice, and in after-school settings.

Lesson Practice Pages

Practice specific to each part of every Ready Instruction lesson gives students multiple opportunities to reinforce procedural fluency and synthesize concepts and skills learned in the classroom.

• Lesson practice pages can be used at the end of a lesson or after completing each part of a lesson.

• For ease of use, each part of a Ready Practice and Problem Solving lesson includes a Ready Instruction page reference indicating when they could be assigned.

What’s in Ready® Practice and Problem Solving

Prerequisite Skill Practice

• Students apply lesson prerequisite concepts or skills as they work with models that support those in the Ready Instruction lesson Introduction.

• This serves as a review of previous understandings and prepares students for the next section of the Ready Instruction lesson.

Family Letters

• Family Letters can be sent home separately before each lesson, or as part of a family communication package. They include a summary statement, vocabulary definitions, and models that help adult family members support their child’s mathematical learning.

• Each letter concludes with a simple activity that encourages students to share their math knowledge with family members while practicing skills or concepts in a fun, engaging way.

• A Spanish version of each letter is available on the Teacher Toolbox.

Dear Family, Use with Ready Instruction Lesson 16

Like fractions have denominators that are the same.

like fractions: 1··4

and ··

and ··

3··

and ··

and 4 unlike fractions: 1

··2 and

·· and

··3··

and ··

and 4

To find the sum of like fractions, understand that you are just adding like units. Just as 3 apples plus 2 apples is 5 apples, 3 eighths plus 2 eighths is 5 eighths. Similarly, when you take away, or subtract, 2 eighths from 5 eighths, you have 3 eighths left.

You can also use a number line to understand adding and subtracting like fractions.

Remember that the denominator just names the units in the same way as “apples” names units. So,

• to add two fractions with the same denominator, the sum of the numerators tells how many of those units you have.

• to subtract two fractions with like denominators, the difference of the numerators tells how many of those units you have.

Invite your child to share what he or she knows about adding and subtracting fractions by doing the following activity together.

This week your child is learning how to add and subtract like fractions.

Fluency Practice Pages

Skills Practice

• Fluency facts practice and multi-digit computation worksheets in multiple formats provide flexibility and promote the use of grade-appropriate strategies and algorithms.

• These worksheets for grade-level facts and operations can be used any time after the skill has been taught.

Repeated Reasoning Practice

• Repeated Reasoning practice worksheets encourage students to make use of structure and look for regularity as part of their development of grade-level fluency.

• In this type of fluency practice, students identify and describe patterns in the relationship between the answers and the problems. This develops their abstract reasoning skills, mental math skills, and a deeper understanding of fractions and base ten numbers.

Ready® Practice and Problem Solving

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.

3.OA.A.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 3 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 3 7.

MajorLesson 1 PracticeUnit 1 Practice

3.OA.A.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 4 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 4 8.

Major

Lesson 4 PracticeUnit 1 PracticeUnit 1 Performance TaskUnit 3 Practice

3.OA.A.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Major

3.OA.A.4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 3 ? 5 48, 5 5 4 3, 6 3 6 5 ?

Major

Lesson 6 PracticeUnit 1 Game: Fish for Factors!Unit 1 PracticeUnit 3 Practice

Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division.

3.OA.B.5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. Examples: If 6 3 4 5 24 is known, then 4 3 6 5 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 3 5 3 2 can be found by 3 3 5 5 15, then 15 3 2 5 30, or by 5 3 2 5 10, then 3 3 10 5 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 3 5 5 40 and 8 3 2 5 16, one can find 8 3 7 as 8 3 (5 1 2) 5 (8 3 5) 1 (8 3 2) 5 40 1 16 5 56. (Distributive property.)

Major

Lesson 2 PracticeLesson 3 PracticeUnit 1 Practice

3.OA.B.6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 4 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8. Major Lesson 5 Practice

Multiply and divide within 100.

3.OA.C.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 3 5 5 40, one knows 40 4 5 5 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

Major

Lesson 6 PracticeUnit 1 Game: Fish For Factors!

Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic.

3.OA.D.8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

Major

Lesson 12 PracticeLesson 13 PracticeUnit 3 Practice

3.OA.D.9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.
