Terrific Tuesday!

We began the day having French with Mlle. Jessica.

After French, we began our new Math unit: Exploring Addition and Subtraction. We looked a picture in the Big Math Book of people at a fair. We discussed various addition and subtraction stories that we could come up with. After, we discussed various addition and subtraction strategies that we can use: counting on/back, look for doubles and near doubles, using fact families. We did some examples as a class and then moved on to working in our Math books.

Next, we had physical education with Mr. H.

When we returned, we practiced the “find ten” and “near doubles” strategies to help us count three 1 digit numbers.

Find ten example: 7+3+8

7+3 = 10
10 + 8 = 18

When we use the find ten strategy, the first two numbers we use add up to 10. We use this strategy because it is easier to add on from 10.

Near doubles
Example:
4 + 5 + 2
   -1
4+4=8+1=9
 
9+2=11

Example:
8 + 7 + 5
   +1
8+8=16-1=15
15+5=20


We use this strategy to help us count faster and to practice our mental addition.

Following first recess and lunch we finished working on our cultural flag projects. We then practiced our presentations in partners. After we presented our projects in front of the class:

We learned so much about so many flags and cultures around the world!

After second recess and lunch, we linked our writing with our new unit of inquiry. We used detail to explain our favourite holiday. We ensured to include proper writing conventions within our work.
