Miss Pounds' 3rd grade class at HUES introduced a new skill today in Math class. She displayed a model on the board and invited students to describe what they noticed before naming the skill. This encouraged students to think, share ideas, and make connections that laid the foundation for understanding the concept of distributive property!
