Good Afternoon!
Maddie sprawled out in the science area this morning to explore addition and subtraction clip cards. For more challenging equations, Maddie used colored counters to help her find the answer but for most of the equations, she either used her fingers or nothing at all! Once she figured out the answer to the equation, she clipped the correct answer and moved on to the next clip card.
K.CA.1-2: Solve real world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g., 5= 3 + 2 and 5= 4 + 1).
After Maddie finished, several other peers explored the clip cards at the round table. A few of our younger friends needed help identifying some numbers so we worked as a team to find each answer.
Groups of children explored the welcome activity this morning. Colored gems were used along with ice cube trays. We used these two items in several different ways: patterns, one to one counting, and number recognition.
