In math today we began talking about what teen numbers are. We are learning that a teen number is made up of a group of ten and then some more. We practiced this using our math hands and then played a simple game of drawing a number and creating it using a group of ten and then some ones.
We were surprised to hear the weather was just 1 degree at math time today. The students were introduced to what a negative number means. This is a higher order concept that is learned in later grades, but we had the perfect day to talk about the frigid below 0 temperatures! Brrrr....
The class is working on analyzing simple bar graphs using our morning message. After eating our math cheerios for breakfast, the kids practice using math language such as more, less, and, equal after analyzing the results of the data.
