Fourth graders in Mrs. Gieck's class took a break from current standards and did a spiral review activity with math standards they've worked on so far this year. Task cards were placed around the room with word problems featuring costumed kiddos and their yummy treats. Students solved problems involving place value, rounding, comparison of numbers, addition, and subtraction with regrouping. This was a fun math activity that the kiddos enjoyed.
