TECHNOLOGYWe have finished our biography project. Look for them at Open House. Now we are doing math activities. Students are using media, virtual tools, and games to explore and practice their concepts of perimeter and area. They are experimenting with probability using virtual dice and The Graph Club. Students compare their dice rolls with the rest of the class and the entire 3rd grade. Just-in-time data collection is possible using Acrobat Pro forms. So students can immediately see the results of their class data.
