You're the cashier!: Students will use manipulatives and computers to count back change from amounts up to $5.00.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Lynn Tugwell.

Story Problems Made Interesting: After introducing students to story problem stategies, students will be asked to write their own story problem(s). The problems must deal with real life situations. Fantasy worlds and silly situations are not allowed. Each student must also be able to solve their own problem(s). If the problems are not entered into a computer and saved on a disk by the students, then the teacher will compile groups of problems for the students to solve. The author's name of each problem should be attached to the problem. If a student needs help solving a problem, he/she is only allowed to ask the author of that problem for assistance.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Tim Galliher.

Solid graphing: The students will review solid figures using a baggie of assorted snack mix (cones, cubes, cylinders, and spheres) and will begin a vertical bar graph showing the number of each solid figure in a bag of assorted snack mix.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Lisa Fletcher.

Shopping spree: Students will practice counting money up to five dollars using grocery ads from local stores.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Lauren Gary.

Rounding ball: This lesson is designed to help students become more efficient at rounding numbers to tens and hundreds using mental math methods. It will help students become quick thinkers and stay focused.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Brenda Seymour.

Piggin' out with money: Students will work with money manipulatives to solve word problems that involve adding money amounts and making change. The lesson is introduced with the literature book, Pigs Will be Pigs. After solving the problems posed in the book, the students will work with partners to create their "pig problems". Assessment will require students to solve similar problems on a teacher made worksheet. When time allows, each student will have the opportunity to go to an Internet site to work with money problems and games.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics)

Musical money: Musical Money is a game to help reinforce counting different amounts of money. It is fashioned after the game Musical Chairs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Brenda Allred.

Money and more money: Students will use problem solving skills and knowledge to solve a given problem using money. This activity will help enhance the students' self concept, and understanding the importance of learning basic money skills.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Betty Black.

Milk it for all it's worth: Students will cooperatively discover the equivalent measures of capacity. In addition, students will be given a unit price of milk and will be asked to calculate the price of other units of capacity based on the price given. They will then use this information to determine the most economical buy.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By ann dawson.

M&M math: M&M Math provides students with hands-on activities. Students will be sorting objects, comparing whole numbers, writing fractions, performing addition, subtraction, and division problems with the use of manipulatives.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Angela Gillie.

Grocery store technology: Students will identify how technology has changed in an occupation over time. This is also an introductory rounding/estimation lesson using addition of money.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Computer/Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Barbara Crouch.

Book order math: Using a book order catalog, students will calculate costs for their book choices, learn how to write a check, and to fill out an order form.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Teri Dammann.

Working with rows and columns: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students examine the array, or cross product, model of multiplication to discover the role of the multiplicative identity and the effects of multiplying by 0.
