We will be learning the 6 strategies for problem solving. Today we started learning the strategy "Draw a Picture". Next week we will go over one more problem together and then the students will begin working on their own problems. Every week while we are still learning the strategies we will begin by working a problems together, then they will work on similar problems independently.
They will be keeping their problem-solving spiral notebooks in the classroom. Please feel free to stop by anytime and see what your child's work. I don't like students to take them home until the end of the unit, because with a week between meetings many times it gets left at home. Homework is optional in 3rd grade math. Students can start taking home assignments in the next few weeks, but only if they choose to. Working on the assignments at home can help their group travel through the Math Quest more quickly, but it is not required.
Have a great weekend!!
