"I Can... tell when a number 1-100 is even or odd."
My Handy Helper did some amazing work today on the SMART board! We had worked our way up the list of numbers together, then she wanted to tackle the largest number on her own. She counted out the manipulatives, and arranged them into groups of ten (circled and labeled!) She circled the "e" to show me it was even, and explained that she knew this because she could divide the number into equal groups with no left overs. Her sentence tells me she used two counting methods, skip counting by tens and ones, to check her total. Great work!
