Math Workshop

Our first third grade math workshop! We investigated how base ten numbers are comprised in our base ten number system. First, we reviewed concepts such as digits and place value, then used this knowledge to help us represent numbers in three different ways: standard form (using digits only), expanded form (adding together the value of each digit), and word form (how to say/read the number). Today, we worked our way up to 4-digit numbers (thousands), but still have a way to go to become familiar with numbers through hundred thousand, which is the third grade standard (crazy for 8-year-olds, I know! :-)). I introduced the students to their online textbook and its features, so they will be ready to use it at home when they receive their log-in information tomorrow.
