Kristien and Ruth are working well together in Math Workshop.

During Math Workshop, we reviewed a game.  (Every Friday is game day). Today we played tic-tac-toe.  To play the game you move paperclips over two numbers and then add the numbers up.  The player then finds their answer on the board.  The goal is to get 3 sets of 2 in a row.

Today, Kristien and Ruth were playing together in Math Workshop.  While the kids are allowed to use a dry erase boards to help with the addition, I challenged them to try mental computation together.  Kristien and Ruth were up for the challenge.  I went over to those two and realized that they were working together to solve each problem.  The two friends were helping one another and doing it so peacefully! One of the reasons we work together so much in Math Workshop is to encourage collaboration.  Today, Kristien and Ruth were a great example of this!
