Students will spend time in class discussing what they know about the given topic. They will be introduced to the new topic through modeling, small amounts of lecture and multiple opportunities for guided practice. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and discuss solutions. We will also use manipulatives to enhance learning when available. Humor, laughter and appropriate socializing will encourage a friendly learning environment for each student to grow and prosper in!  Follow up worksheets and/or activities will be available for independent assessment.  

 This class is a good fit for the struggling third grade math student OR for the brand new third grade math student.
