Math Fun!

Today in math we were working with teen numbers. First we took some small objects and glued or stuck them on a sheet of paper to show what the teen number means. For example, Jace chose the number 14, so he wrote 14=10+4. He then put ten sequins, using groups of fives, under the number ten, and 4 sequins under the number four.

He then showed me with his fingers that ten........
And four.......
Is fourteen!

After that activity, we then used our teen equation cards.
We use these cards to match the teen number (plus 20) to the equation that helps explain it. Isabella will show you how this works! She chose the number 11 and paired it up with the 10+1.
After matching all the cards, we do our finger freeze game to show the numbers with our fingers. Isabella is showing that ten.....
And......
One.......
Is eleven!
