3rd Grade GT Math

What's going on in math
Howdy! This week we will continue working on transitioning from the strategies and understanding of addition to the standard algorithm! Please do not rush the students into the standard algorithm. The building of strategies not only reinforces place value but it will also lead them into other math operations.
At the end of the week we will be transitioning into subtraction. Again we will be working on transitioning from the strategies and understanding of subtraction to the standard algorithm! Please do not rush the students into the standard algorithm. The building of strategies not only reinforces place value but it will also lead them into other math operations.
Think Through Math
Think Through Math started last week. Starting this week students are expected to do two lessons a week. The login for the students will be:
username: lastnamefirstname (Ex: knightmiles)
password: ID number (Ex: 12345)
Also, I strongly recommend students to use scratch paper. I will be encouraging them to bring their mathematician book home to record there work in. If they bring them back I will look through them to see the wonderful math ideas they come up with.
