Worksheet: Discoveries and Exploration

Grade: 3 Unit: Where We Are in Place and Time Central Idea: Discoveries lead to exploration Lines of Inquiry: 1. Discoveries that shaped the world 2. How different tools were used for navigation over time and how it changed 3. Migration

Instructions: 1. Solve the addition sums below. 2. Write the answers in the space provided. 3. Use the given lines of inquiry to think about the connection between discoveries and exploration.

  1. Discoveries that shaped the world:

a) Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492. If he sailed for 33 days, and each day he traveled 45 miles, how many miles did he travel in total?

Answer: _______

b) In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. If he found 8 different types of bacteria that penicillin could kill, and each bacteria had 7 cells, how many cells did penicillin kill in total?

Answer: _______

  1. How different tools were used for navigation over time and how it changed:

a) In ancient times, sailors used compasses for navigation. If a compass has 4 main directions (North, South, East, West), and each direction has 3 sub-directions, how many sub-directions are there in total?

Answer: _______

b) In modern times, GPS (Global Positioning System) is used for navigation. If a GPS device can track 10 satellites, and each satellite sends 5 signals, how many signals can the GPS device track in total?

Answer: _______

  1. Migration:

a) A group of birds migrates from their summer home to their winter home. If there are 7 birds in the group, and each bird flies 20 miles per day, how many miles will the group travel in 5 days?

Answer: _______

b) A family of butterflies migrates from one continent to another. If there are 4 butterflies in the family, and each butterfly flies 15 miles per day, how many miles will the family travel in 10 days?

Answer: _______

Reflection Questions: 1. How do the discoveries mentioned in the sums relate to the central idea of discoveries leading to exploration? 2. How did the tools for navigation change over time? How did these changes impact exploration? 3. How does migration relate to the concept of exploration? Can you think of any examples of animals or humans migrating due to discoveries or exploration?

Note: The sums and reflection questions provided are just examples. Feel free to modify or add more according to the needs and abilities of your students.
