- The red sheet shows the centre where the students had to pick an addition block from the basket. Then they had to stamp the numbers to make a dotted picture showing the numbers they were adding. Next they had to stamp the number sentence showing what they added and the answer they got, (using the addition symbol and the equals sign).
- The green sheet with the balance scale shows equations they were trying to make using snap cubes. The students put the numbers in each side of the balance scale using different coloured cubes and then they added the "mystery number" using a different colour until the scale was balanced. So if 4+5 was on one side of the scale they may have found that 7 had to added to the 2 on the other side to make them equal and balanced. 4+5=7+2
- The blue sheet with snap cubes shows a number they had to make using the snap cubes. They were allowed to use 2, 3, or 4 colours to make the number several times. Each time they had to make the same number. This page shows a student making 16 three different ways, (so far). As you can see they have found that 6+9+1=16!
Math Lab ROCKS! Math is everywhere and we are becoming masters at finding the math in our very busy K-3 lives! Here's a quick glimpse into our marvellous math experiences at school...where we regularly proclaim...I love math!!! When you witness how we learn and what we accomplish you will understand why we love math and why we are all successful mathematicians!
Welcome to Math Lab!
A very big welcome to educators, parents and students! Thinking out loud... I will post inspirations, challenges, ideas, tips for home, cool websites, and those special moments that happen every day. Moments that continue to solidify my love of spending my days teaching and learning from such bright and inspiring little souls!
