Math Tubs

As we near the 100th day of school, we are working on counting and writing to 100.  The hundreds number chart is a very important concept in our Everyday Math curriculum.  To help the kids understand the patterns in the chart, they put together hundred chart puzzles.  After matching numbers on the chart for awhile, they challenged themselves by putting together the puzzles independently. 

More challenges!  These pattern block puzzles ask you to use specific pieces to fit inside the shape.  Some are harder than they look!
Everyone is doing a great job at tallying!  We tallied "snowballs" (aka cotton balls) for practice.  The snowballs are moved one at a time across the tray to by tallied.  At the end, the kids counted the tallies.  They are learning that you can count tallies faster when you count by 5's!

Simple addition was practiced using dice.  The kids are doing a great job understanding how number sentences work and are beginning to solve problems quickly!
