Math

We are moving very quickly in math as we near the end of the year. Currently we are working on measuring many different objects around the class and school. We are using cm and m. We will also be working on perimeter and moving onto units such as g and kg.

Here are some websites  from previous units of study to explore!

Here is an excellent site that uses place value blocks to help students see what is happening during subtraction.

Here are few web sites that show some of the addition strategies we have been using. Some of them have print outs or activities that the students can try.
