Three Addends

This past week the students have been learning strategies for adding three numbers together.  They learned to first add two numbers together and "make a ten" or a "doubles" fact.  One game we played to reinforce this skill was Five in a Row using 3 number cubes.  After adding the 3 dice together, the students would cover that number on their game board.  The last step was to record the equation in their math journals.
