The class has been working hard on strengthening their number sense! Our math unit these past few weeks has been all about addition. We only described addition as ___ and ___ is _____ at the beginning of the school year. The kids have been hard at work understanding exactly what a number is and HOW it is that number. They have learned all about composing and decomposing numbers into different parts. Now - they get to put their number sense to the test! Developing number sense early on helps the student understand exactly what it means when you say 'addition' or 'subtraction.'

Froggy Roll & Cover - the kids got to play with a partner to see who wins. They each got to roll 3 dice & then they had to find the 'sum' of those 3 dice (yes! they even learned what the word sum meant). They then had to find that numeral on a lily pad & cover it with a frog. The first person to cover all of their numerals was the winner!
