We were learning how to problem solve effectively using exemplars. We focused on communicating our solution and making connections. SM
We learned about different subtraction situations: figure out the missing part, compare two numbers by finding the difference, or take away one part. CS
We are on the last bend of our math unit before we move on to a new one! MM
