Math Extra Credit!!
Our math CBA is tomorrow (Thursday, October 4th). If students play at least one game from the place value section, one game from the rounding section, and one game from the addition and subtraction section of the blog, I will give them a free 100 in math. Just write down the name of the games your child plays and have a parent sign the paper and bring it to school tomorrow morning. This is a great opportunity to review for the CBA!

Math CBA Next Week
Our first math CBA (Curriculum Based Assessment) is next Thursday, October 4th. This CBA will cover each of the math concepts we have studied so far this year - place value, comparing and ordering numbers, addition and subtraction with regrouping, examples and nonexamples (looking at a group of objects and deciding how they are related and which other objects would fit into that group), and rounding to the tens place and hundreds place. Here are some activities to help your child review for the CBA. The rounding rhyme is what we use in class to to help students remember how to round to the nearest ten or the nearest hundred.

Underline the place to be rounded
Circle the number to the right
Circle the number to the right
One through four - hold on tight
Five or more - watch it grow
Everything else turns into a ZERO
Go next door and see what you've got.
5 or more raise the score,
4 or less let it rest.
All the numbers to the right run to zero in a fright.

Place Value
Place value is a concept that is difficult for some students. In third grade, students are expected to read, write, and describe the value of whole numbers through 999,999. Here are some games and websites to help students practice what we are learning about place value.
