Math Fun!

During our math time this past week we have worked on math stations doing a variety of activities to show our understanding of what we have learned.  Before we started we practiced how to take pictures and record our voices using the app Screen Chomp and the Draw and Tell app to show our learning.  There were four different stations we had to do.  We worked at our table  groups and each person did a different activity each day.  We had to pull a piece of  paper out of a bag and that was the activity you worked on that day.  The activities were:  patterning, fact families, odd and even numbers, and sorting.

To do the odd and even activity we had to take 2 cards and make a 2 digit number with them.  Then we had to decide if it was odd or even and record it under the right column in our math book.  Some us could even make 3 digit numbers!

Another station was sorting buttons or dinosaurs by two attributes.  We used Screen Chomp to take a picture of our sorting  and then recorded how we sorted our things.

We have also learned about the relationship between addition and subtraction.  To show our understanding we rolled two dice and recorded the numbers in our math book.  Then we added the two numbers together to get the last number in our fact family.  Finally we made 2 addition equations and 2 subtraction equations using those numbers.  Some of us were able to challenge ourselves and make bigger numbers by adding the 2 numbers together and using that as our first number!

The last station was a patterning station.  We had to use Draw and Tell and make 3 different patterns and then describe our pattern in 2 ways.

We had lots of fun working through our stations!  Do you use any of these math strategies in your every day life?
