Pumpkin Math

Today we took our math skills and applied them to counting pumpkin seeds inside a pumpkin. The students first took all the seeds and "gunk" out of the inside. Then they grouped the seeds into groups of 10's and then into groups of 100's. This allowed us to see how many we had! The pumpkins had 474; 513; 458; and 475. After all the counting was done it was off to apply our knowledge to some of our place value skills. We had a lot of fun!

Math Groups

Today our groups were working hard on identifying the different forms of numbers we have learned in math. They worked in teams to find the standard form, word form, picture form and expanded form of the numbers in the bag. The kids have been doing great with this skill this week!

Building Bridges

Last week we learned about the parts to a bridge. Below are some pictures of the kids working in their groups. Our purpose in the lesson was discussing that in order for the bridges to work well, you had to have all of the parts. If you didn't have the playdough, would the bridge be as sturdy? We also related it to making a sandwich. If you don't have the bread you can't make a sandwich. We are learning about how all the parts work together to make it work successfully.










Congratulations to our winning team. Their bridge held 13 froggies!
