Math Manipulatives

The Primary room used manipulatives to represent their adding skills today! The Grade 2 students used base ten and one blocks to represent addition sentences up to one hundred.

 

Our Grade 1 students used a variety of manipulatives to demonstrate fact families up to twenty!

 Our understanding of addition was later practiced in our math notebooks using numerals. It was a great way to start our unit!

Math in the Kitchen

Math class took the Junior Room students to the kitchen. They were learning about litres by pouring water into measuring cups and different containers and millilitres by using medicine droppers and spoons.

We found out that many kitchen measuring spoons are not accurate!

Capacity

The grade 2 class explores capacity in math class.  This student predicted how fill the glass would appear after putting in 1/2 cup of juice.

 Although is does not look it, all of these glasses have the same amount of juice in them!

 We invited the Grade 1 class to have some "capacity juice"(fruit punch) in fancy glasses with us.  They were surprised to learn that all the glasses had equal amounts of juice in them!

Math Class

Understanding math is easier when students are allowed to manipulate concrete objects. Here the students are making arrays to demonstrate multiplication and division.

Bar Graphs

A Grade 2 student produced a great bar graph!

This student interviewed students and teachers to determine what is the most popular choice of candy.  Rockets were the most popular by a mile!
