We have been thinking about numbers a lot in our time together. We work with numbers at our Number Corner, as well as during our Math Workshops.
Since it was our 14th day of school, we focused in on the number 14. We tried to come up with as many different ways to represent 14 as we could.
We came up with lots of different equations, tallies and pictures!
For Math Workshop we learned about part/part/whole mats.
We watched a video from our Math Coach, Mrs. Moeller, about using these mats to help us represent and solve problems in different ways. We paused the video every now and then to solve the problems on our own and then kept watching to check our work.
We have also been sharpening our estimation skills! We saw a picture of a jar with glittery balls in it and made a quick estimate of how many balls we thought were in the jar.
We found out there were 24 balls in the jar. After talking about reasonable estimates, we made estimates of other similar jars of balls, using what we learned about previous jars each time that we made a new estimate.
Based on what you learned about the first three jars in the picture above, can you make a reasonable estimate about how many balls are in the jar in the last picture?
