➕ Topic Summary
In 3rd grade, we learn how to solve math problems using four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Addition is putting things together, subtraction is taking things away, multiplication is repeated addition, and division is splitting things into equal groups. Knowing these operations helps us solve real-world problems! Like figuring out how many candies each friend gets if you share a bag equally. Understanding how these operations work together is the key to becoming a math superstar!⭐
🧮 Part A: Vocabulary
Match the terms with their definitions:
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Division
- Product
- Splitting into equal groups
- The answer to a multiplication problem
- Putting things together
- Repeated addition
- Taking things away
(Match the terms above. For example: 1 - C, 2 - E, etc.)
✍️ Part B: Fill in the Blanks
Use the words addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to fill in the blanks.
When we combine two numbers together, we use __________. When we take one number away from another, we use __________. __________ is a quick way to add the same number multiple times. Finally, when we share something equally, we use __________.
🤔 Part C: Critical Thinking
Imagine you have 12 cookies and want to share them equally with 3 friends. Explain how you would use one of the four operations to solve this problem and how many cookies each friend would get.
