Subjects: math

Grades: 3

Description: This set of Boom Cards includes 2 different sets of 12 fraction problems designed for 3rd grade. The deck is set up so students only play one deck at a time. They select either deck 1 or deck 2 on the first page. The questions are self-correcting and provide immediate feedback to students. How does the deck work? As students answer the questions correctly, they build a sandcastle. After each correct answer, another piece is added onto the sandcastle. After the 12th question, the sandcastle is completed. The deck directs students back to the same question to try again if they first select an incorrect response. When students return to the question, the incorrect selection remains marked out, so students can choose from the other possible answers. This ensures that all students will complete the sandcastle at the end of the deck. Building the sandcastle adds an incentive to keep trying so they can see how their sandcastle looks!
