In math, we have been discussing adding as joining together or constructing. We are playing with different strategies that help us add most efficiently. Some of our strategies are:
- using counters
- using number lines or hundred charts
- using fingers
- counting on
-skip counting
- knowing it in our head
We have noticed that we sometimes use different strategies at different times depending on the question given. For example, we might not use fingers for larger numbers.
We have also learned about the effect zero has when added to a number and how you easily add 1 to any number. This week, we will begin working with subtraction.

Most days we begin with a warm up in math to get our brains thinking. Here is an example of one of our warmups from last week:
Working together with the help of counters and their classmates, this is what they came up with! They also noticed the pattern in the equations!
