Curricular competency: Understanding and Solving:<\/p>\n
Develop, demonstrate, and apply mathematical understanding through play, inquiry, and problem solving.<\/p>\n
In Math for term 1 we have been focusing on number sense and place value.\u00a0 We have explored different ways to represent numbers using different manipulatives such as play money, loose parts and cuisinaire rods.\u00a0 We also play with the materials a lot so we can become familiar with their affordances.\u00a0 During Math we often work together with our table buddies and in small groups.\u00a0 One activity we really enjoyed was doing esti-mysteries.\u00a0 We enjoyed making estimates and reading the clues our friends’ made to help us get closer to the correct amount.\u00a0 We’re excited to do more Math together in January.<\/p>\n
