Some of Our Math Activities

We played a couple of new math games this week.

See what we can do:

The first one is called Flip and Record.

We are flipping over number cards and then recording

that number by coloring in the correct corresponding 

number of boxes/frames on a ten-frame mat.

Next, we reread the wonderful book, Chrysanthemum.

Then, we discussed how many letters are in her name.

We counted 13 letters!!! WOW!

We placed her letters in our Counting Jar

to practice with during stations.

After we counted her letters, we wrote our names on a sentence strips

and cut our letters a part. Next, we counted the letters in our names

and recorded it on a piece of construction paper. 

PUMPKINS Everywhere!
