Math Menu

This week we got to choose from our very first Math Menu! Over the course of the week, we each got to choose 6 different items on our Math Menu during our Math Workshop Time. This week's menu allowed us to make choices that would help us get to know the math manipulatives and tools we have in our classroom! 

Choices included exploring with unifix cubes, pattern blocks, and cuisenaire rods, rolling dice and creating numbers with play doh, playing Cooties, making different sorts with our sorting toys, and playing Counting Fish on our classroom iPads

Later on in the week once we wrapped up our math centers, we got to learn  a few new math games! We will choose one of these games to be sent home in our first Giraffe Mystery Bag for each student to share with their families over the next few weeks :) 

We can't wait to choose from a new Math Menu next week!

Math Workshop

Mrs. DeLello has been visiting our classroom during our math time to help us set up Math Workshop! This week, we've started working in math centers that involve working with double tens frames, adding dominoes, playing math games such as Fishing for Ten and Name That Number, and looking at different addition and subtraction patterns.

Working in centers allow all of us to experience math at our just right level. We are so lucky to have Mrs. DeLello along with Mrs. Gorman to help us out and find new ways to learn different concepts. So far, we are loving the centers!
