Third grade mathematicians have focused learning time on rounding and estimating and subtraction of larger numbers this week. Students have learned about different strategies for solving subtraction problems.
Check out the photos below of student problem solving. They illustrate removal or take away, counting up, and constant difference as strategies for solving subtraction problems.
Students will be bringing home a paper copy of the "Bridges Math Unit 3 Family Letter" on Friday. This letter contains more information about this unit of study. Check your child's backpack for the family letter on Friday.
I have been meeting with students individually to check on their progress with skip counting and memorizing the x 2, x 3, and x 4 multiplication facts. Many students are close to having these facts learned. Please make sure to practice with your child at home for 5 - 10 minutes each night. A little bit of practice at home each day can make a big difference. Thanks!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Keelin Simpson
