Numbers and Story Problems

We are refining our use of numbers to include counting games, story problems, and combining and taking away from numbers. The children composed their own story problems, acted them out, and found the solutions. We roll two dice and combine the dots to chart numbers 2 through 9, and play a game called "racing bears" which involves rolling dice in combination and counting up to ten. We also play a game "toss the chips"; combinations of red and yellow double sided chips that we add together.  Our math class is very active and vibrant lately!
