5 frame fun!



We learned about 5 frames this week. We will soon move to ten frames. These are extremely helpful for children to develop number sense and, later we will use them to understand how addition and subtraction are complementary operations. Here we are playing 5 frame memory with a friend.

Math fun




Last week we learned a partner math game called "Roll and Cover". It's great for learning how to recognize sets of dots as numbers and really helps develop number sense. It's also simple enough that it is a great first partner game to play. 







We also worked on making numbers with linking cubes.
