Gr 3-4 Session 1: Number Ninjas

Third & Fourth Grade Number Ninjas, Power Up Your Place Value! Get ready for an awesome Math Workshop Session where we’ll become masters of number sense and place value recognizing that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. We’ll explore the amazing world of numbers, understanding what each digit really means, and read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. We’ll compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.! Then, we’ll level up our addition and subtraction skills with whole numbers, discovering cool strategies to solve problems with efficiency and accuracy! Some of the addition strategies we will explore: breaking each number into its place value, making landmark or friendly numbers, doubles/near doubles, making tens, compensation, and adding up in chunks. Some of the subtraction strategies we will explore: adding up, removing or counting back, place value, keeping a constant distant, and adjusting one number to create an easier problem. Get ready for engaging games and activities that will boost your number smarts and make you confident problem solvers!
