Hello Families!
Thursday night, October 14th is our next Family night. Please come for a taco dinner and some fun math activities in each room.
Our class has been very into the pattern blocks and cuisenaire rods. They are such interesting materials to use. These tools are made so that you are encountering a lot of truths about shape, size, proportion, and dimension. And the children have been moving from working with them on the table in a flat way to creating more three dimensional, vertical pieces.
Here are some questions to that our children are thinking about and commenting on when they work:
How many blocks did I use?
How many of each shape did I use?
What shapes could you exchange and still make the same large shape?
What are the relationships between shapes?
Here are some examples of our latest work!
What do you think about when you look at these?
I can't wait to see you all tomorrow night. Enjoy your evening, Jennifer
