This week for math we will be working on greater than, less than and the same as (equal). The students will need to be able to read the symbols and understand what the symbols mean.

Math September 26 - 30, 2011

Posted: September 25, 2011

This week the students will learn how a number is broken down. We will do this through rods and units as well as with the use of ten frames. Rods represent the number 10 and a unit represent the number 1. If an image of a rod and four units is placed, this would represent the number 14. For the Ten Frames, each dot represent one, therefore, if there were four dots in a frame then it would equal the number four. Eventually, each student will be able to state the number at a glance.
