This "Odd" Week "Added" Up To Great Learning!

With a fog day on Monday and two hour delays on Tuesday and Wednesday, we had a fast week, but we made the most of our time here at school!  We have been especially busy in math!

Second graders worked really hard learning all about odd and even numbers.  We made it a delicious learning opportunity, by using mini marshmallows to make different numbers.  We then made a chart to sort odd and even number!  Very fun...and they are really getting it!

Our first graders are learning how to add.  We have learned lots of new math vocabulary words, such as "sum," "join," and "addends."  We have been doing many hands on activities to help the students visualize what addition is.  They are doing really well!  

Connor discovered that six is an even number!

The anchor chart that we created to remember all of the important things we need to remember about odd and even numbers.

It was hard to do all of this sorting with those delicious marshmallows right in front of them, but they worked hard all the way through the lesson!

Kadee discovered that seven is odd...no matter what we tried, we couldn't get two equal groups!

Zevin, Jazmyne, and Blake were sure concentrating deeply on modeling their addition sentences.  We also learned that we can refer to an addition sentences as and equation...they mean the same thing!
