Unit 3 "Operations" focuses on using place value to develop and practice strategies for addition and subtraction of 2- and 3-digit numbers. We will explore partial-sums addition, column addition, counting-up subtraction, and expand-and-trade subtraction. We will also represent multiplication using arrays, and use these representations to develop strategies like "adding a group" and "subtracting a group" for solving multiplication facts.
We have begun reading our next book - a third grade favorite - Charlotte’s Web. We love reading about our favorite spider, just in time for fall!
