Math in Early May!

We have been busy reviewing and expanding on our knowledge of some math conepts that we have touched on earlier in the school year.  We created and extended growing patterns and represented these in tables.  We learned that we could create growing patterns starting at bigger numbers but that building these patterns would take too long so the table was useful for showing these growing patterns.
We also had some 'fraction fun', drawing fractions and describing the fractions of a whole.  We have already noticed that the more pieces a whole is divided into..the smaller the pieces get.  We would rather have 1/4 than 1/8 of a pizza because we know 1/4 is a bigger slice.  Our 'fraction fun' will continue as we explore fractions of a set and look for equal fractions!
Problem solving (with partners and independently) has also been practiced.  We are getting much better at choosing tools to help us solve problems and explaining our thinking in words or numbers!

May has just begun and look at us go!
