Students will continue to: (our outcomes)
ACTIVITIES TO TRY AT HOME:
- - develop an understanding of place value (groups of 10s and 1s)
- - say numbers in order from 1-100
- - skip count forwards and backwards by 2s, 5s, 10s and 100
- - look for patterns as they skip count
- - count money by 5s and 10s
- - recognise and fix errors in a sequence of numbers and a 100 chart.
- - explore even and odd numbers to 100
- - ordinal numbers (1st - 10th)
- - organize objects in a given set into groups of 10s and 1s to make counting easier.
- - record two-digit numbers as they counted.
- - estimate the size of a given set
- - represent numbers in a variety of ways with manipulatives, pictures, coins and numbers.
- - explain why, for a given number 1-100, no matter how it is regrouped or counted, the total does not change.
- - break up numbers into two or more parts
- - model equality / inequality
- - use language to describe comparison
- - determine if two sets of numbers in a given number sequence are equal or not, and record that number sentence using the right symbol.
ACTIVITIES TO TRY AT HOME:
- Using the 100 chart, block off a variety of numbers. Ask your child to tell you which numbers are "missing."
- Write a series of numbers from a pattern off the 100 chart. Make a few errors and see if your child can identify them! Want to make it harder? Use numbers 50-100 and try recording them backwards. ex: 75, 70, 65, 60, 50, 45...
- Count out-loud by 5s - ask them to START with an Odd number and END with an Even number (ex: 15- 40)
- Have your child make a list of all the even or odd numbers between two given numbers.
- "Five in a Row" game... on a 100 chart, players get 5 numbers in a row to win the game. Players take turns rolling a dice. If an odd number is rolled, the player may cover any odd number on the board that is free. If an even number is rolled, the player may cover any even number that is free. Players have to be strategic and try to block each other's moves. You win when you get 5 in a row!
- Line up 10 of your child's favorite items. Play "I Spy" with the items, and practice saying the numbers using the ordinal terms. For example, "I Spy with my little eye, a teddy bear that is ...." "Fourth!" Let the child take that item until they are all gone. Let them rearrange them and be the teacher, as you guess (and make errors!)
- Sit facing each other with a barrier in between so you cannot see, with a set of 10 items (both of you have the same things). One partner puts ten items in any order they like. Next, she tells her partner how to place their items by giving ordinals that are not in sequence. (ex: Put the penny in the fifth position, put the rock in the tenth.)
