In Unit 3, students are concentrating on counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's in a variety of contexts. Much of this learning is embedded in solving and creating our own word problems all about lobsters. Students are not only learning about what lobsters look like, what they eat, and how they move, but are using them to focus on counting skills by 2's (large claws) and 10's (large claws and small claws together). Using lobsters, our word problems are also challenging us to count beyond 100 and are strengthening our understanding of addition and subtracting. These last 2 weeks, students have also been focusing on counting by 5's and 10's using the value of pennies, nickels, and dimes. Check out the video above to see how literacy, math, and science are integrated in this fun song!
