Children write, count and find the number 3 across two pages, starting with a big 3 they trace with a finger. They color exactly three objects in each group, show three on a ten frame, and check the groups of ladybugs, strawberries and ducks that have three. In a tile hunt, E and 8 are mixed in with the 3s because they look so similar. The answer key includes a tip for children who write 3 backward.
In Color 3, the hard part is stopping: with 6 stars, some children color them all. Have them touch and count each one aloud as they color, and stop at three.
For a child who writes 3 backward, use the key's check: hold their 3 next to the big 3 on page 1, where both bumps open to the left.
If a child's Find the 3s count is more than 6, they have marked an E or an 8. Have them trace the tile with a finger: a 3 is open on the left side.
Ways to adjust the number 3 pages for different learners.
Each one is checked against the official documents. Where the resource covers only part of a standard, the note says so.
Students color exactly 3 things in groups of 4 to 6, mark 3 boxes in a ten frame, and count picture groups to find the ones with 3. Only the number 3 is practiced.
Students trace the numeral 3 and the word three, and match 3 to dots, tally marks and objects. Only the number 3 is covered.
Students count the 3s they find among other numbers and letters, and count each group of pictures one at a time. The numbers stay very small.
Children trace the numeral 3 and the word three, color exactly 3 in a group, mark 3 boxes of a ten frame, and see 3 as dots and tally marks; only the number 3 is covered, not 0 to 20.
Children count groups of pictures and circle the ones that have 3, and count the 3s found in a letter grid; sets stay small, far below 20.
