Good Afternoon!
After we read, ‘Dinosaur Stomp’ in K group, we worked together to solve four word problems. Before we dove into the word problems, we talked about the difference between subtraction and addition. After I read it, they told me the numbers to write AND the answer! Some children used their fingers but some were able to do the problem in their head!
K.CA.1-2: Solve real world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g., 5=2+3 and 5=4+1)
In PREK2, children worked with addition problems using bears as a manipulative. The total for every equation was 10. Friends got a turn to work with the bears and figure out what combinations equal 10 (6 and 4, 5 and 5, etc.)
We had another busy, engaging morning! Two of our favorite activities lately are the colored counter and trio blocks. Franklin wasn’t even on the building rug for five minutes before he had his creation built!
Evie and several peers took the colored counters and placed them in a specific way all around the circle table. When a teacher inquired about what they were doing, Evie shared, “We’re having a birthday party for the bears!”
