Math
More practice today solving addition and subtraction problems. Our Action Task was similar to #5 Your Turn Questions from Monday evening. It is a tough question but it does follow a pattern. I'm not sure if using a diagram made the problem easier or more difficult. LOL.

If you are having difficulty with the last Your Turn question, look at the yellow sheets. They explain the different kinds of subtraction questions.
