This week in math, we learned the term “equivalent,” and found equivalent names for given numbers. (For example, other names for “5” include: five, nickel, 3+2, 9-4, 6+4-5.) The children played a game called “Broken Calculator,” in which they had to get an answer on their calculator without pressing a particular button that we determined would be broken. The children reviewed the concepts of "greater than" and "less than" and completed their first math homework assignments- known as "Home Links." The children are practicing and reviewing a variety of skills as they complete the Math Boxes in their math journals at the end of each lesson, including: counting coins, telling time, and completing “frames and arrows” problems. We continue to practice our addition facts, too! The children are preparing for their first math test next week.
