Math

We have learned a variety of math games that we will build on throughout the school year. One game, called Build It, had children draw number cards from a deck and then place that number of pennies on a ten frame (a frame with ten squares in it). They learned Roll & Record, a simple game of rolling a die and recording their answer on a sheet. We also spend time practicing number writing, using handwriting without tears and number poems. We have worked with concepts of longer than and shorter than, measuring objects with a stick of cubes. We will move into building sticks that measure the length of each person's name. We will also use these to compare the length of everyone's names. The photos show children doing inventory bags. Children counted the objects in the bags and recorded their answers in their books.
