All Kinds of Numbers!
This week in math we did a number of different things. We started our counting by 10's song, we matched numbers together and with amounts, we practiced writing and building our numbers up to 20, we used alligators to show greater and less, and we practiced showing 1 and 2 more or 1 and 2 less.

All About Numbers!
This week in math is all about numbers! We practiced matching numbers to their amounts, writing numbers 1 - 10, tracing numbers 1 - 10 and building numbers in different ways up to 5.
One of the big concepts we have been working on for the past couple of weeks is what it means for a group of objects to be greater or fewer by a certain amount. We have been talking and working on it in whole group and practicing it in our workbooks the past couple of weeks. Next week we will work on it in small groups at my table.
Stations for this week were ...
Station 1: Matching numbers with their amounts 1 - 10. One of the stations the kid went to this week were matching numbers with their amounts on pumpkin cards. There are also number words on some of the pumpkins, but we only focused on the written number and 10 frames with dots in them.
Station 2: Number strips handwriting 1 - 10. We have been practicing tracing numbers for the past few weeks in class. We have also practiced writing numbers on dry erase boards and on the table to make sure they are being formed the right way. I copied these number strips on different colored paper and laminated them so the kids could practice writing their numbers from 1 to 10 over and over.
Station 3: Apple Building to Ten Book. At their third station this week, the kids wrote their numbers from 1 to 10, circled the correct numbers above each basket, and drew that number of apples in each tree to match each number. Station 2 gave those kids who needed a little extra practice time to trace their numbers some more before doing their apple building book.
Teacher Table: Building numbers in different ways. I found these really cool math work mats in Teacher's Pay Teachers with spinners that helped the kids see the different ways to build numbers by using trains. This week we only used the mats that went up to 5. I made enough for each child to have their own mat and spinner. We did a couple numbers together, then I let the kids spin their own number and try to build it different ways on their own (unless they needed help).

For
this mat, the kids only used the spinner that goes up to 5. Later in the year
we will use the other mat.

Story Problems and Counting
This week in math we are working on tracing our numbers from 6 - 10, graphing more than one quantity on our own, greater than and less than, and story problem where we add two numbers together. The kids' stations this week were ...
Stations 1: Rolling and graphing greater than/less than. At their first station, the kids rolled dice and built towers to match the number on the dice. After they built the towers, they recorded the towers on their papers. Then, they put a red circle around the tower that was greater and a blue circle around the tower that was less than.
Station 2: Graphing. The kids' second station this week was graphing how many boys and girls there were in our class on that day. They colored the boy column one color and the girl column another, then circle which one had the most.

Station 3: Practicing tracing and recognizing 6 - 10. At their third station this week, the kids are finishing up their Kissing Hand tracing book. After they finish tracing the numbers they have to find the group of Chesters that matches and color them in. We have been practicing tracing the past couple of weeks to get ready for writing them on our own in our Apple Counting books next week.
Station 4: Story Problems. At my table this week, we are using different mats to show story problems. We do 3 story problems together, then I let the kids make up their own story problem to share with the table. The three choices for stories were the ocean and ocean animals, trees with owls and birds, or a plate with cookies and cupcakes. Every group has chosen the ocean! We did the trees for fun at the end of one group because we had some time left, but they really like the ocean and ocean animals!
