Math Update

Third Grade Third grade students were gone on a field trip to the MIA and did not have math this week. Students are continuing to work on story/word problems using this same technique. The thinking problems for this week are to find at least one way to use the following 5 numbers:5, 7, 12, 6, 1 to make -3; 5, 11, 4, 9, 6, to make 13. The more ways they can find to solve this problem, the more their thinking will be challenged. Fourth Grade Fourth graders are doing an alternative activity for 4.1 and 4.2 this week.
