We all learn to do things in different ways and this in no different in math. To better understand addition with regrouping we have been exploring different strategies. We've spent a long time learning about place value so we can truly understand the WHAT and WHY of addition with regrouping. We used blocks today to build numbers and move them on our place value mats. We were able to make the groups of ten, re-group them and carry them into the next column. Knowing that we cannot have a digit larger than 9 in any column. Students had the opportunity to share their thinking and ask questions. We will continue with this method tomorrow until everyone is very clear how this works.
We began exploring the roles of grandparents in our families today and read the story, 'A Morning With Grandpa.' We were just about to do some writing about our own grandparents and how we are connected to them when we were called to concert practise. The writing will have to wait until tomorrow.
Winter Celebration tonight see you at 6:30!
