A Model Day

I was very excited that I had the chance to model a lesson with our 3rd graders. We will spend two days on estimating and the break apart strategy to add 3 digit numbers.  During today's lesson we reviewed rounding strategies and watched a Brain Pop Jr. video on the topic.  The children then had the chance to make their own meaning of the break apart strategy in cooperative learning groups using Base-10 Blocks and dry ease boards and makers. We then set sail on the day's objective in the TLC.  Days like this are truly some of the most enjoyable days of coaching, I love teaching!
