Making 8

Today your child made different groups of 8 using counters and then their partner had to recreate the same problem using different colors of clay. After they got it down, I challenged them to also try to figure out the addition sentence. For example: 3 reds and 5 yellows is the same as saying 3 + 5=8

Math Fun: Making 7 and 8






My little math whizzes have not only been making groups of 7 and 8. But they have also been learning that by making different groups of 7 and 8, they are making addition sentence problems!
You can practice these same skills at home to reinforce what we have been doing in class.
