Today, we talked about how using all ones (small cubes) might not be the most efficient way to use our materials.\u00a0 A friend suggested that we use the rods (they equal 10) to get to higher numbers in a more efficient manner.\u00a0 While this may save on time efficiency also helps us with our number sense.\u00a0 If kids are able to understand that 10 groups of 10 make 100 they will have an easier time decomposing and building numbers in their heads.\u00a0 This is a something that we will be working on throughout the year as we become even stronger mathematicians!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, in word study, we played a new sight word game.
