Flipping Math

Today we tried a different approach to our math lesson. The students logged into their google drive account, retrieved their math lesson, including a link for a Kahn Academy video, and answered a journal response while viewing the video. This will be a great tool to use in our math stations in the future.

Place Value

We are in our Place Value unit. The crew is loving building the numbers with base-10 blocks! We have played several games. It is always exciting to add a competitive spin on things.


The students will write the numeral in several forms: Standard, Word, Expanded, and picture form.

Here is a cute little wrap song for Place Value.

*Please note- the song goes to decimals- we do not learn that in 3rd.*

Addition Algorithms

Yesterday we started our unit on addition with regrouping. The students had the opportunity to show the strategy they use to add with regrouping. 

The students shared their addition strategies with the class.

Mrs. Padgett, a 3rd grade teacher, created a tutorial on the various addition algorithms for your reference at home.
