  1. Hello fellow 3rd grade class! We found your blog and we have answered your first question about December and her books. It takes her 12 trips to move all of her books, because 12×9=108. Thanks for helping us practice our math skills, and have a great day!

    • We are excited to find you here. We have fun exploring math and many other things. Do you have blogs too? We hope you’ll visit again.
