The
first graders have been working super hard on their skip counting skills these past few weeks and
they are doing awesome! Last week, we discussed the difference between counting by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.
On Tuesday, our math wizards wanted
to know the fastest way to count a large
quantity of objects. After brainstorming some ideas, each student
decided counting by 10’s would be best ...so we tried it out! Each student was
given a bag of around 100 small objects First, they predicted how many objects
were in their bag. Then, everyone counted by grouping their objects into piles
of 10. The students were so excited to
explore counting with household objects!
I even noticed some students working together and helping each other
count, too! - Ms. Timmerman
