How To Use Your Mobi Math Tiles: Grade 3

Team Mobi here!

Mobi was our very first product and the point of no return for us.  We got such positive feedback from our customers that we knew we had to keep creating.  We also get so many great ideas from the teachers, parents, and kids who play Mobi that we are surprised at all the little ways people adapt Mobi to suit their needs.   In this blog post, we'll share a couple different ways that you can incorporate Mobi into your third grade math curriculum!

1) To begin with, work on identifying number patterns:

Using your Mobi number tiles, show the next 3 numbers in each pattern:

1, 2, 3, __, __, __

2, 4, 6, __, __, __

Using your Mobi number tiles, make a pattern that decreases by 3 each time:

12, 9, __, __

11, 8, __, __

2) Work on basic multiplication and use the tiles to assist you and your child when going through the multiplication tables.

3) Inverse relationships: 

Fill in the blanks using your Mobi tiles:

4 + 5 = __

5 + 5 = __

9 - 5 = __

9 - 4 = __

4) Missing equations: 

Determine the missing number tile in the following equations: 

4 x __ = 12

8 x 2 = 2 x __

10 - __ = 5 + 2

These are just a few examples of ways you can use the full Mobi set to make math a little more enjoyable for your kids.  If you've found other creative ways in your home or school, we'd love to hear from you!
