Double Checking with Opposite Operations

Hello Families!

We just took the Unit 1 assessment today, and I am SO proud of their work! You can expect a paper coming home with them tomorrow giving their score on the assessment and whether they exceeded, met, or did not meet standards for the unit. I send these home after every unit to keep you in the loop!

One thing I noticed that we need to work on, is double checking! It's natural for third graders to want to just be done with their work, but they need to be double checking! Since our next unit involves addition and subtraction story problems, I thought I would share a quick video showing how we learned to use the opposite operation (+ or -) to double check our answer. Enjoy!!



Ooh - one last thing! The new monthly math challenge is here! It's not on the PTA website quite yet, but I have copies! Please encourage your child to grab a copy and give a few problems a try!

Thanks!

-Mrs. McGaffey
