Math News

Here are some photos us making patterns in math on Monday.  The only condition was that we only got two colours.  Some of us chose to make simple ABAB patterns, others chose ABBABB or AABAAB. It was interesting to see 5 different patterns come from one table with the same two colours.

We are also continuing to learn the numbers in detail.  On Tuesday and Wednesday we learned about the number 5.  We looked for things that came in 5's in the classroom.  We found our hands had 5 fingers, some names in our class have 5 letters,  there were 5 lines in the bottom of our bear poem, and there were 5 puppets on the five card on our wall.  We practiced printing 5's, made a five book, and trained our eyes and ears to see and hear five!  Mrs. Morrison flashed dot cards for the numbers 1-5 all mixed up and we had to say the number as quickly as we could.   Mrs. Morrison also had us close our eyes and listen to her clap and we had to say how many claps there were.
