This week we continued our practice with Base Ten frames / "Dot Frames", as well as exploring dominos and connecting them with addition facts. Greater than / Less than is another important concept we are working on, and the children were eager to share strategies for how to remember which symbol to use! (See the alligator picture below for one popular idea.)
This week the students also had an opportunity to put on their architect hats and create their own structures using base ten blocks. After building, their next task was to count the total value of blocks they used. Some students chose to count as they built. We will use base ten blocks throughout the year for hands-on practice and understanding of place value.
