Sharing our Math Thinking!

This week we worked our way through five different Math stations that were designed by Mrs. de Jager and Mrs. Betts to help us show what we have learned these last few months.  The first station used an Osmo on the iPads to help us figure out pattern block puzzles.  Some of the puzzles were easy, but some were pretty difficult!  We had to work together to figure out each puzzle.  It was a way for us to review our shapes.

 














The second station involved using Cuisenaire rods, which were a new tool for us.  Cuisenaire rods are rods in various lengths and different colours.  We  explored the relationship between the different coloured rods and how a mathematician would show this relationship in numbers.   For example, if the orange block represents ten, what would the yellow block represent?  How would you show this in numbers?   Using this new knowledge, we could show different ways to make ten.

 

We also did a few stations to review our number sense.  One station involved picking a number, and showing if that number was odd or even.  It took a bit of thinking and problem solving if there was an odd number of tens!

We also reviewed our fact families to remind us of the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Finally, we reviewed our geometric solids by working together to build a structure using our geometric solids.  Then we took a picture with our iPads and labelled each solid.

 How do you review the Math concepts that you have learned?
