Math Update - Ms. O'Halloran

Looking at place value……

Over the next few weeks we will be extending our knowledge of place value.  Students will investigate numbers to ten thousand.

We will focus on reading, writing, comparing, ordering, and rounding numbers using hands on manipulatives and real life situations. 

Your child will also work with play money as students estimate, count, and write money amounts up to $50.

Please visit the Nelson website and link to Chapter 2 for games and mini lessons at home.
