3rd Grade Math- Anchor Charts/Posters

WARNING: If you are not a teacher, you probably won't care about this post!

Most of you know that this is my first year teaching. I have made MANY anchor charts and posters this year. I am on Pinterest all the time looking for new ideas--and believe me...there are a LOT of great ideas on there. The other day it hit me that I've been looking for everyone elses ideas, without sharing any of my own. Since I do have a blog, I thought I would share on here some of the anchor charts and posters that we've made. These all hang on the wall in my classroom.  If you're a teacher, I hope this gives you some new ideas! Hopefully I will post more often about lessons, ideas I have, and things that I am teaching in my room. Enjoy! :)

 I taught this song to my kiddos at the beginning of the year. It was a song that the previous 3rd Grade Math teacher used and I LOVED it!  (To the tune of the Addams Family)

The first picture is a rap that we learned for Rounding. The kids LOVE it! I see them singing it all the time when they are working on a problem. This second poster is a visual I made to keep on my wall. When the kids hear a word like estimate, round, etc. we all make a siren noise so they can clue in on how to solve the problem.

We did three different brace maps to represent three different ways to do multiplication problems.

Division Bubble Map (I didn't really use the bubble map in the right format..since you are only supposed to use describing words, but I think that this is a good way to display a LOT of information in a fun way!)

This is the method we used for learning money.

Subtraction- If the bottom number is bigger---then borrow from your neighbor!

Fractions---Probably my favorite thing to teach!

Understanding the increments of an inch on a ruler was so hard for my kids to learn. We do a chant where we make the fraction with our hands. We say 1/4 1/2 3/4 whole! This kinethestic movement helped a TON when we transitioned from fractions to measurement.

Here are two pictures (side by side) of the wall in my room. I only shared my Math charts and posters in this post, but I do have thing hung up on my wall for science and social studies since I teach those too. As you can see it is a little busy...but they will definitely be helpful as we are starting to drill skills to get ready for the STAAR test! Eeeekkk!

I hope you enjoyed looking at some of these posters! I implore any teachers out there to also share what you are doing so we can all make a fun, productive learning environment for our kids!
