During Math this week the students were introduced to the pan balance. They learned that this tool compares the weight of objects and experimented using this tool to compare the weight of blocks of clay and teddy bears. They tried their best to make both sides balance.
We also have been practicing sequencing numbers up to 20, and identifying numbers that come before a specified number. In addition, we have sorted different sized shapes into a variety of categories, and have practiced writing our numbers as high as we could go. We continue to label our patterns (AAB, ABAB, ABC) and have played a few interactive games to help us learn the names of a rhombus, trapezoid, and hexagon.
