Creating pictures and structures with 2D Shapes!

Dear families!

 

How exciting as we wrap up 2D shapes. Students have been working hard on counting verticies and sides! Also they're doing a great job remembering the names of the shape.

 

 

Have fun viewing the videos. Students worked in groups of 2-4 and made their 2D pictures and structures!

 

 

 

5 Frame and 10 Frame

On Friday your child will bring home their 10 Frame Booklet.
We used the 5 Frame and 10 Frame for a couple of things.

1. To learn how to count by 5s and 10s.
2. To see what numbers look like
3. To teach children how to add. We must first understand why numbers grow. To do so we use words such as:

MORE   and   LESS

We would say:

3 more than 2 is 5
3 + 2= 5


3 less  than 2 is 1
3 - 2 = 1

Here is an interactive game your child can play with
