Townes is working on the hundreds chart in the math boxes.

Today, during Math Workshop, we added another section to our time.  As I have shared in previous posts, we have a problem solving piece with our math notebooks.  The notebooks are a daily part of our math workshop as well as today’s math boxes.  The math boxes have different pieces in them that help the kids with number work.  Number work is noticing patterns in numbers, building numbers, decomposing numbers, and really just the basics of numbers.  When students have a strong concept of this they can easily complete more advanced addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems mentally.  The two pieces in today’s math boxes were hundreds charts with numbers missing for the students to fill in and number tiles that the students had to put in order.  As the year progresses we will have more activities in the boxes.
