Below you see mathematicians finding objects, counting how many, and graphing their results! This was a really tricky activity because of how many different objects they were looking to record!!
Below you see mathematicians applying what we have learned about "Tens Frames" in order to show a specific number. We learned that the entire top row of the "Tens Frame" must be filled in order to move on to the next row. We also learned that it is more accurate to either draw a circle or an "x" to mark each spot. When children color in the squares they can become carried away and it makes their recordings hard to interpret.
When they finished, mathematicians worked to build numbers with playdough on tens frames or using bean counters :-).
Roll and Record-
Below you see mathematicians rolling to dice, adding up the total, and coloring the matching number on their sunflower sheet. It is so interesting to watch how differently they add the numbers together! Some learners counted all of the dots. Others looked at one die and if it was 5, they would count up on the next die. So, for example, if they rolled a 5 and a 2, instead of counting one by one they would say "five, six, seven". Still others would look and say 5 and 2 is 7. I love learning all about how their minds work!
Growing Patterns!
Mathematicians love geometry! At this table learners worked to build the designs and patterns from a variety of cards. Some were very tricky!

Your thinkers are amazing!
