Mathematicians at Work

Our mathematicians have been very busy this week!  They learned the Partial Sums and Column Addition methods for solving addition problems.  These methods simply present students with various ways to solve addition problems and places a big emphasis on place value.  With these methods, students receive a better understanding of how to solve addition problems and the "why" behind it all.  In addition to math, we did some work organizing and graphing data as well as finding landmarks (maximum, minimum, mode, & range) within data.  Next Wedneday, they will take the Unit 2 test.  Below, you will see pictures of our mathematicians hard at work....
