Word Problems and Addition with 3 Addends

Hello families,

We have been working hard on our math skills so far in 2015 despite all of our snowy and busy days.

We are currently working on a unit that is focusing on solving word problems, including those with a missing addend and some with three addends as well.

This week we are focusing on some menu-type problems, where students are told what items were ordered and use a menu to find the amounts that they need to add. We are also focusing on writing the answer using the number and the units. (For example: 1+10+4=15....15 cookies).

Because of the snow day on Monday of this week we will be having homework instead of Web Wednesday tomorrow. Here is an updated homework calendar for the remainder of this unit:


Here are some pictures of  us working to master these skills:

Have a great rest of your week!
