🎲✨ It was Fun Friday in Ms. O’Brien’s 4th grade math class yesterday! Students rotated through stations to review the skills they’ve been working hard on — including Place Value Yahtzee, Spoons with standard/expanded/word form, estimating sums & differences with dice, place value cards, and even Boddle & Prodigy on their Chromebooks. Nothing beats learning through games! 🙌📚
