This week, we will begin Module 7 focusing on Geometry and Measurement Word Problems. We will complete Lessons 1, 2, 4 and 5 before finishing the week with a fun math activity. Lessons focus on solving word problems using a letter to represent the unknown, comparing and classifying quadrilaterals, and comparing and classifying polygons.
Need help with homework? Search "Eureka Math, third grade, module 1 lesson ___" on YouTube :) Each day in class, we will be completing a portion (or all) of the problem set. Students are responsible for completing the corresponding homework pages for our daily lesson on Monday through Thursday each week.
