Grade 3

What is a union?

union

Everything that is in either group, put together.

For example

The union of the singers and the drummers is everyone in either group.

In Grade 3

Children combine two sorted hoops of objects and count everything that ended up in either one.

Watch out for

Children often count the shared items twice in a union. Anything sitting in both groups is still counted only once.

Say it at home

Sort objects two ways and ask how many are in one group or the other altogether.
