Math:
This week in math the students will add measurements using the standard algorithm to compose larger units.  They will estimate sums by rounding and apply to solve measurement word problems.  The students will decompose once to subtract measurements including three-digit minuends (the quantity or number from which another is to be subtracted)with zeros in the tens or ones place.  They will decompose twice to subtract measurements including three-digit minuends with zeros in the tens and ones places.


Example of rounding numbers to add:
