Wednesday January 8th: Representing Numbers

Our 3rd round of Rock Star presentations was off to a fantastic start today.  Thank you to Sineen and Layla for sharing some lovely books with their classmates.  Students reviewed expectations for effective public speaking including: looking at the audience and speaking in a clear voice. 

Rock Star Presenter Rubric. 

Thank you to AM Rock Star Sineen and her special story about friendship, The Turtle and the Moon.

 Table Time:  Counting to 10 using a ten frame

Today we started our investigation into what it means to represent numbers, starting with the number one!  What does ONE look like?  How many different ways can you represent (or symbolize) a quantity of one?  There are many other ways to represent numbers: numeral, word, number line, ten frame, fingers, tally marks, pictures, dice, dominos etc.

 

Thank you PM Rock Star Layla for sharing your special bedtime story book.
