Math Lab

In Math Lab, students in third grade practiced writing, adding, and converting fractions to lowest term. The students changed improper fractions to mixed numbers. They used “Cheez-It” crackers to add their fractions. It was a fun, edible activity.

Students in second grade discussed several different graphs. They had a taste test to decide their favorite apple. They put their favorite apples on a pictograph and answered questions about their graphs. We also discussed adjectives to describe Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Gala, and Golden Delicious apples.
