I don't know who had the most fun in math this week; me or the kids. One focus of my math class is teaching one to one correspondence with numbers. For the older kids I found a tool from Lakeshore. Frogs on a log. It was a hit.
One of my star pupils showed off by using the frogs to add and then counting the total in her head and then choose the right number from a field of three. Way to go!!
For the younger ones I found Touch Math to be a good hands on approach to numbers.
Each number has a corresponding number of dots. The kids get to feel the shape of the 3D plastic numbers and then count the dots.
Hi, I am Glenna Roundy. You may have heard about your child's SMAC class. Don't be alarmed!!! SMAC is an acronym for Science, Math, adapted to the core. We have a lot of fun in SMAC learning about math and how we use it in our everyday lives. The science lessons are based around the Utah core standards of learning. Check in and see what your child is learning. The children love to share what they are learning about science and their world.
Please share your thoughts and ideas! Together we can be better.
