During UPS check today...I heard some pretty awsome thinking! Our problem was 7+6=13...First I asked what a sum was! I heard, "It's the answer to a math question!" So I asked any math question? "No, it's a number!" Any number? "It's the answer to an addition problem!" DING DING DING! Talking it out working together to get to the correct answer!
Then I posed the question, "What would help me solve our equation quickly?" A tens frame (that helps me check) Just knowing it! (good answer but what will help me "just know it"?) Then I played our doubles doubles power point song (which I'm hoping to get uploaded for your veiwing pleasure) sometime soon! Once again I heard some great thinking! Emily noticed that the doubles sums were all even numbers AND were counting by TWOS...Ryann was the first to say...6+6 is 12 and then one more makes 13! AMAZING thinking...(several said that was what they were thinking in their heads as well!!!)
All in all it was a great day back! I had so much fun being with all my "babies" today! Can't wait for tomorrow! Enjoy your evening!
Ryann likes Elephant and Piggie books!
