Grade 3’s Maths

In Maths group lessons, the Grade 3s used a balancing scale to weigh objects which they then listed from heaviest to lightest. Another group worked in their Number Sense books and the group on the carpet looked at 3D shapes. They had to distinguish how many faces, vertices and edges on the shape they were given.
