Edible Place Value

Last week we started learning about expanded form in relation to place value.  We had already used place value blocks to represent 3 digit numbers.  In order to mix it up and make it more fun, we used crackers to represent hundreds, pretzel sticks to represent tens, and marshmallows to represent ones.  We used an interactive dice on the smartboard to create 3 digit numbers that the students had to represent with the crackers, pretzels, and marshmallows and write on their white boards in expanded form.

Math Mania!

We have been working hard and being creative in our math block this week!  Two skills the students have been reviewing are odd and even numbers and the doubles facts.  At the beginning of our week the students made these super fun odd and even monsters.

At the end of our our week, we reviewed odd and even numbers along with pictographs while using M&M's.

Since the beginning of the year we've been practicing the doubles rap.  We came up with the idea of taping ourselves performing the rap to share with our families.  This was taped on Friday, and the students were so excited to dress the part. Enjoy the video below!
