We used:
- Counters
- number lines
- pencils
- paper
We started by arranging the counters into different groups. Then we drew a picture to represent how we arranged the counters.
Next we labeled our work with the numbers of how many counters were in each group. When we had all 9, we put a circle around our idea. When checked for accuracy by Mr. Trechka, the children got a green dot on their circle.
The goal was to show at least 9 different ways. This is something that we have been practicing a lot this past semester. Some of the children were not able to finish today. Anyone who didn't finish was told that it is "homework" to work with their families at home. (I was surprised by how many children were excited to get homework, they made me laugh a bit when they cheered!) Take a chance to look over your child's work at home and discuss their number ideas. The children have shown some really creative ways to arrange numbers. If you have a chance, take a moment to work with your child to come up with some more ideas and record them. There is no need to send the "homework" back to school, just enjoy the time spent together. :-)
