This year, we will spend our afternoons working in math centers. Each center will be focused on helping students develop and practice specific mathematical skills based on the Common Core State Standards
The development of number sense is the basis of our math instruction. We practice counting, matching numbers with quantities, comparing numbers (quantities), and putting numbers in order through all kinds of hands-on activities and games.
When students learn to organize numbers into groups of tens, they can begin to understand larger quantities. With this understanding, they can move on to adding, subtracting, (and later, multiplying and dividing). We use tools like ten frames, base ten blocks, and cuisenaire rods.
We use many different tools and methods (such as ten frames, part-part-whole mats, fact family triangles, number lines, cuisenaire rods, and a wide variety of manipulative objects) to learn about operations and algebraic thinking. Students learn to work with addition and subtraction equations and to understand how addition and subtraction are related.
