Math Update

Over the course of the week, the children continued to build their automaticity with their subtraction facts. I can't believe how these scores are growing each day! We also worked to find "half" of even numbers. They solved “What’s My Rule?” problems involving doubling and halving.
We went on to practice reading numbers on a scale. The children reviewed that there are 16 ounces in a pound, and they even noticed that there were 8 ounces in half a pound, and 4 ounces in 1/4 of a pound! We practiced estimating weights of different objects.
Coming up this week, the children will have a “Data Day,” during which they will take turns doing standing jumps. The children will record, sort and analyze the data they collect! Math wasn't this much fun when I was in 2nd grade! :)
