Math

I keep forgetting to take pictures during literacy block (sorry!), but here is a look at some of our math work this week!

Cheetah Challenge: I Have Who Has (how can we work together to beat our record time?)

Bump! A class favorite for practicing addition.

Number Flash. We are working on identifying numbers quickly without counting all (for example, we know without counting that the full ten-frame on the left makes ten... We can count on from there, or some of us might recognize that half of the ten frame makes five, so it must be 15 all together).

We are working as a group to put number cards in order. It is tricky when we don't start at 1!

We are working on adding two more with this BINGO game!

Friday Flash!
