Third Grade Third grade students started problem solving packet #2. Their homework is to make up 3 word problems similar to the few we did in class today. The thinking problems for this week are to find at least one way to use the following 5 numbers: 4, 6, 2, 9, 5 to make -3; 1, 2, 3, 12, 9, to make -5. The more ways they can find to solve this problem, the more their thinking will be challenged. Fourth Grade Fourth graders began Problem solving packets this week and did the first 6 pages.
