Don’t forget to check out my webpage. It is
numbers. This skill is always difficult with our third graders. Remind
your leaders that we do this daily in our calendar activities. Also, ask
them to tell you about “heavy pockets.” Basically, we can’t have
more than 9 in each place of a number.
ALWAYS a work in progress, however I do provide
websites for learning/practicing third grade skills
