Math

We have been working with comparing towers of different lengths and placing them in order from smallest to largest. We then proceeded to do this with the children's names, comparing the length of three or four names and recording them in our math books.

We also played a very popular game of "What's Missing?" The child removes an object from a tray and ask her/his partner to figure out what it was.

We have recently moved to a unit on patterns. The children began by making towers and sorting them into patterns and not patterns. We then discussed the difference between the two types of towers. Today they articulated that the pattern is the one that does the same thing over and over again. They figured that out really quickly. Now we will spend weeks refining this idea and testing it out in all its permutations.
