We continued to work on area today, but using much larger shapes and focusing on avoiding gaps and overlaps.  I am so proud of each student for "persevering"!  That's our big word from SMP #1.   Not only did they have fun learning, but they practiced patience with working with a partner and counting up to large numbers, without losing their place!  LOL  These pictures show just how awesome they are doing learning Area! 

Learning "Area"

We have had so much fun learning area (CCRSM 3.MD.5)!  Students are spending a lot of time working with tiles, aka square units!  It is a lot of fun watching them apply what they have been learning!
