Math

In math this week we had the 100th Day of School! The other 3 days of the week (before our Super Bowl Friday party) the kids colored and graphed shapes, dotted which number was more in sets of numbers, colored by number, and wrote their numbers and drew shapes.

What's That Shape, Again?

Last week in math we reviewed 3D shapes, the kids sorted 2D and 3D shapes, played a roll and add math game with dice, played a bowl and subtract game with our "bowling pins" and "bowling balls", while I tested at my table.

Monday, we review 3D shapes as a whole group. We made charts for the 4 main 3D shapes we have been talking about, then brainstormed some objects we know that look like those shapes. Once we brainstormed a pretty long list, I drew one that we hadn't named yet on that 3D shape's paper, the gave the kids their own square of paper to go draw a different object on. Once they drew their shape, we came back to the carpet and the kids shared their objects and the shape it was one at a time before taping them on that shape's paper.

In stations the rest of the week, the kids sorted 2D and 3D shapes, played a roll and add math game with dice, played a bowl and subtract game with our "bowling pins" and "bowling balls".

Their first station was sorting 2D (flat shapes) and 3D (solid shapes) into two different columns on their paper.

At their second station, the kids used dice to find their second number to add or subtract, then used linking cubes or bears if they needed to, to help them solve the problems they made.

At their third station, the kids bowled and wrote down how many pins they started with, how many they knocked down, and how many were left as subtraction problems.

Easter Math!

This week in math, the kids did different stations that had an Easter theme to them!

At their first station this week, the kids solved addition problems, then colored a picture based on the sum. They used linking cubes if they needed them. Some kids just used fingers or knew the answer right off the bat!

At their second station this wee, the kids did an add the room with different Easter symbols. They walked around the room until they found an addition card. Then, they matched the pictures to those on their paper and wrote the amount of each picture in the box underneath each picture. After writing both numbers, they added them together and wrote the sum.

At their third station this week, the kids did a 100s chart hidden picture graph. This hidden picture graph has had the most numbers that need to be colored in than any other graph we have done so far this year!

At my table this week, the kids sorted 2D and 3D shapes at the table and I assessed 3D shapes with them individually.
