IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Yesterday during math, we starts exploring the hundred chart. We examined it together, looking for patterns. Students had some wonderful noticings, especially about the columns that ended in zero and five because this is a way we commonly count.

Today, we worked as a team to create a “life-sized” ten frame on the floor of our classroom! This will allow students to be in the middle of the ten frame as they explore and give us a place where we can go to learn number patterns together. At first, we counted 1-20, but then a student suggested we count by 10s to get to 100. While this left us with an interesting looking work in progress, I am happy that the children are beginning to see patterns with the chart!

We will finish the hundred chart tomorrow, then learn a new game that we can play on it!
