Third Grade Third grade students started a new book called "Shapes and Design" We covered 2.4 and 2.5. Their homework is 2.4 and 2.5. The thinking problems for this week are to find at least one way to use the following 5 numbers: 6,-3, 11, 2, 9 to make 5 and 6, 9, 7, 4, 2 to make 11. The more ways they can find to solve this problem, the more their thinking will be challenged. Fourth Grade Fourth grades took a quiz and finished homework.

Another way to remember the order of operations is "please excuse my dear Aunt Sally". Students had a worksheet for this. Some finished their test from last week. We will start a new unit next week.
