Math Tubs

Math Tubs are a Friday tradition in SK. There are always four tubs going on at one time. Each week, the kids will complete two math tub activities and then do the other two the following week. The tubs are often game based and spark discovery. Let's see what we did this week....

Sorting money was a favorite activity this week. To play, the kids roll a die covered with money, then they find the coin, and lastly, it gets sorted into a muffin tin.

Pattern making with little colored dots. The kids really challenged themselves with multi-step and complicated patterns.

Can you tell with patterns were made by a boy and which were made by a girl?! Both did a great job, while keeping their personal preferences in mind!

Using geo boards to create the pattern block shapes out of rubber bands. Making a hexagon proved to be challenging. After forming the pattern block shapes, the kids could create whatever they wanted.

It was fun to fill in animal pictures with pattern blocks! The kids are learning how the shapes fit together and can be manipulated to form pictures.
