Welcome back to our Blog! First up - everyone has homework this weekend :) I noticed that many of the students were playing a new 'hand game'. *Sometimes, on the carpet when they were supposed to be listening to instructions, lessons, stories etc. ;) So, because it seemed so exciting we took some time out of our day today to make sure that everyone knew how to play - and guess what? It's AWESOME! So many great math concepts are being used to play this game! It will now be a regular part of our 'minds on' to start our math lessons. We wrote these rules as a shared writing activity and we reread them to make sure they make sense. Your homework - play chopsticks! Please read our rules and make sure they make sense to YOU, our intended audience and readers. If not, then please comment below and let us know how we can edit them. If they make sense to you, if you like our game - then you can comment too! Enjoy your time together this weekend. Here are some of the Number Sense Curriculum Expectations that this game touches on: - demonstrate, using concrete materials, the concept of conservation of number (e.g., 5 counters represent the number 5, regardless whether they are close together or far apart). - relate numbers to the anchors of 5 - compose and decompose numbers (up to 20) in a variety of ways Welcome back to our Blog!
