Welcome to Division 3!  We've had a great start to the year.  We are lucky enough to have a beautiful new classroom in the new addition to the school.  We share a folding wall with Division 4 and will be participating in many lessons together.

One of our first math assignments is to learn about measurement by applying it to our real life in our classroom. Students have been measuring our new furniture and have learned about scaling real life objects to symbols on a chart, graph or map.  For homework, students need to complete the scale column on their math sheets in order to be ready to create maps of the classroom.  Remember, these maps will be used to actually organize our room. All of our furniture is on castors and is easily moveable.  Please see the photos for the estimated information that you need.
