A 3rd grade class can work through the first four cases and stop there, while a 4th grade class can use them as a quick warm-up before the bigger numbers. The final mixed case works as a check at the end of the unit. Every case stands on its own. It also works for guided math groups, bell ringers, test prep, sub days, homeschool and back to school place value review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCases 1-4 are written for 3rd grade, with numbers up to 9,999.
