Every other week, we work on math with our kindergarten Partner Pals from KP.  Last week, we explored the various ways you can express the number five.  We read the math story, So Many Fives, and then created our own, varying images of that number.

First graders worked together to build number lines.  Students were able to explain their thinking regarding both the size and the order of the numbers.  Later in the week, we learned how to use the number line as a tool for both addition and subtraction problems.  We coded the beginning number, size of the "jump", and the landing number.  

The boys and girls then built a number line chunk of their choice and used it to model an addition or subtraction sentence with a jump of two.  This work can be found on their student blogs!

After making a text to text connection between the books, Little Cloud and It Looked Like Spilt Milk, 1R students made their own clouds in shapes that resembled other objects or animals.  Our "cloud paint" was a mixture of white glue and shaving cream, which created a puffy effect.  Look for this great work in the hallway outside of our classroom.
