Math and More

I know it has been a while since I have posted and I have several things to share with you.  This year we started teaching math a COMPLETELY different way.  We started the year teaching the children how to explore, write, count, add, subtract and recognize numbers using five and ten frames.  It has forever changed the way that I will teach math!!  Just a few pics from earlier in the year.. We taught them how to explore numbers and the importance of seeing numbers on a five frame, ten frame, scattered, in an array, and in a  linear pattern.  It was SO much fun to teach, but LOTS of work!

 Playdough number mats.  If you will google this, they are a freebie on several websites and blogs. 

 This is called a KIM chart (Key idea, Information and Memory Clue)  These are great to explore both numbers and letters

  

This is how we counted the days in school
