Math Update

Hello everyone,

This week in math we are continuing our work in counting. Students are striving to master counting by 2's, and the practice at home really helps to support this learning! Some students are struggling with the "tricky teens," which go from numbers 12-19. Practicing recognizing, writing and reciting these is another great way to support our math work at home. Students really enjoy practicing through songs and noticing objects throughout the room that can be counted and grouped in different ways.



We are also taking time this week to focus on patterns. Students have been working on creating AB patterns such as blue, red, blue, red or more complex patterns such as white, white, green, yellow, white, white, white, green yellow. Students will continue to work on this skill throughout the week as well as in upcoming math units. Students are working to recognize that patterning exists in all facets of math, and that knowing these patterns can help to make us stronger mathematicians.
