Hello, mathematicians! Today, we’re going to embark on an exciting adventure to review some crucial third-grade math skills. But first, imagine you are explorers in the mystical Land of Mathia, where numbers come to life, and every equation leads you on a new quest. Are you ready to uncover the secrets of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?

Warm-Up Activity: The Math Quest

Let’s start our adventure with a fun warm-up! Gather your supplies: a piece of paper, a pencil, and your adventurous spirit!

1. Magic Number Hop:

   • Write down the numbers from 1 to 20 in a list.
   • As I call out different math challenges, you will jump to the correct answer by marking it with an “X” or circling it.
   • For example: If I say “What is 8 + 5?” you’ll jump to number 13.

2. Treasure Map Riddles:

   • I will read out some riddles based on basic math skills. Solve the riddle by working together with your partner to find the answer.
   • Example: “I am a number. If you add me to 4, you get 10. What number am I?”
   • Discuss with your partner and give me the answer when you're ready!
