Introduction:

Hello,

My name is Miss Brittany Kyler and I will be your child's third grade teacher for the year! I'm very excited for the school year. This page deals with various math concepts I will be teaching your child. First, we’ll be learning about measurements. Your child will learn how to use a ruler. On this site, you will see first hand the lesson plan I will be using. My hope is that you can use everyday math with your child. I want them to become involved in math as much as possible. Perhaps when at home, you can ask your child to count the loose change they may find. This will contribute greatly to their knowledge! Any questions, feel free to email me or call.

She might see that some students in the groups need additional help. If most of the students understood her lesson, she can proceed to the next activity. If not, the teacher will need to see where the students became lost and fix her teaching skills accordingly.<span style="font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">
