December Math
Third grade will continue working on addition and subtraction. We are focusing on self correcting and finding our mistakes. In addition, we have been using problems with mistakes to look closer and be better mathematicians. In subtraction, we have been checking ourselves with addition. We also have been focusing on being able to explain our work and the steps we took to solve, both in writing and verbally. At the end of the unit, the students will be tested on their addition and subtraction skills in word problems and numerically.
How to help at home:
- go over the homework each night
- encourage self correcting
- make sure students are showing work and can explain their thinking
- practice two and three digit subtraction (especially with middle and double zero)
- make sure children are reading the directions in their homework
