Halloween candy will be allowed in school for a snack or dessert for two days! The children may bring in 1 piece on Tuesday (today) and 1 on Wednesday. After Wednesday, I will ask the children to enjoy those treats at home! :o)
Challenge: Today, I will ask third grade mathematicians to estimate how many pieces of candy they collected last night. I'm sure our answers will range from 30 to 687. Tonight, you might encourage your child to pull 10 pieces of candy away from the rest. Using this group of ten, you can ask them to revise their estimate. (If "this pile" is 10, how many groups of ten do you think you have all together?)
I will be interested to hear the new estimates tomorrow.
