DIY MATH!

Today, our class worked on creating large numbers (up to 100), and also extended our learning of hundreds, tens and ones (les centaines, les dixaines et les unités) to create numbers up to 999. We used three styrofoam cups to represent each digit from 0-9 as ones, tens and hundreds.

Your child brought his/her cups home tonight to explain to you how we can use these “number generators” as a math tool. We used them in some fun races to create two or three-digit numbers as trivia answers (ex- “How old are you?” (007), “How old will you be in thirty years?” (037)). These are a quick and easy hands-on way that we bring interactive learning to our math program with simple items you probably already have around the home. Can your child identify anything else in your home that he/she could use as a math tool? This will be an ongoing discussion throughout our year. If your child thinks of any creative ideas at home, please let us know and we would love to try it in our class!
