Math stories, Earth Day Bingo, and more!!

Well, for those of you who read our blog every day, I just wanted to mention that we had no internet service at school for Monday and Tuesday,  but everything has been fixed - so time for a blog post today. I am including photos that I took these past 3 days.

Students in Room 7 are learning to create their own number stories -- when they only have the answer to go by. And they are doing an awesome job.
For example...Mrs. Grant said the answer is "5".... so this boy showed us and told us... 
"the boy had 3 teddy bears, and he got 2 more for his birthday, so now he has 5 teddy bears and 3+2=5"


For this story, the answer is "10".   So he told us his story was "The boy had 10 blocks, then he donated 6 of them, so he had 4 left, and 10 - 6 = 4"


The answer is "4". Story...."The boy had 1 star, then he got 3 more stars, now he has 4 stars and 1+3 = 4"
 
Answer = 4.....Story...."the girl had 3 teddies, then she got 1 more for her birthday, so now she has 4. and 3 + 1=4"
 
The answer is "10".... story... "The boy had 5 dogs, then he got 5 more, so now he has 10 dogs!!  and 5+5=10"

Shamrock green

We already know that blue plus yellow makes green…. and today we painted shamrocks with only blue and yellow paint. We mixed the colours, of course, to create the green! We also noticed that there were different kinds of green, depending on how much yellow or blue we had to mix up.

We have been busy documenting our learning about what we know about numbers. We sure do know a lot!   We even figured out a way to make the number nine with our bodies!

Yesterday, our Star of the Week told us all about himself. Thank you for helping us to get to know you a little better!

        Sharing time……  bring something that starts with a /G/ or /L/

What we know about numbers!

We have been learning many different ways to represent numbers. We started making charts to record ...

"What we know about....".   So far we have brainstormed what we know about numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. We are getting pretty good at thinking about different number sentences that make our number!
