Welcome!

Welcome to Room 5's blog where you will find information about our class and have a chance to post your comments! Our first post for the year is about math in our classroom. Read all about it!

Our first math topic in third grade was called Numeracy. That's just a fancy word for making sense of numbers. We discussed how we use numbers in everyday life. We learned about place value and comparing numbers all the way up to the hundred thousands.

We also found out that there are exactly 9 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7, 8, and 9.

(Did you know that your fingers and toes are also called digits?)



Have some fun with numeracy by finding your way around a hundred chart. Just click the image of Fido to play.

Post your own comment. Evaluate the game. What did you think of it?

Next, watch the following video for a quick review of place value.
