Math Week of 1/5/15

Last week we finished up with Unit 3 in math.  Along with having an assessment, first graders also did some other activities.  Early in the week they started writing numbers on a counting strip, going as high as they could.  Some of them are still working on these when they have time!  They also played a game called Missing Numbers where they had to figure out which numbers were "missing" from a number chart.  They made predictions and then explained their thought process.  

First graders also examined and compared  a number line and a number chart.  We cut up a number line in chunks of 10 numbers and arranged them into a chart format.  We were amazed at all of the patterns we discovered!!
