Our Learning Focus for the Week of March 20th
Math: We will review place value. Students will be reading and writing 3 digit numbers in standard form, base ten block form, word form, and expanded form.
Students will also practice skip counting within 1000.
(They will count by 5's, 10's, and 100's)
For example, start at 350 and skip count up by 5.
350, 355, 360, 365, 370
Students will compare two three digit numbers using >, <, and =.
For example, 445 > 399
Here is an example of a number shown in four ways: The number is 352.
