Terrific Tuesday

The students started their day by showing how many ways they can represent a given number.
This sheet will be sent home for you to see. This sheet also shows the letters that they can recognize and the letters that they know the sounds of.

More or Less
Through problem solving we are looking at the concept of "more or less"
Today students were challenged to solve this problem:


Cookie monster can only eat cookies that have 5 or more chocolate chips.
Can you make a cookie that has MORE than 5 and LESS than 5.


We practised various versions of the problem together before the students independently completed the problem in their visual journal. 
They cut out cookies and then represented the chocolate chips with paint. 
Next, each student had to tell what cookie Cookie Monster would want and why.
