The kindergarten students are continuing to decompose numbers. In the lab this week, the students learned a place value chant, and practiced identifying numbers in the ones and tens place. To continue the investigation of ones and tens, the students identified ones and tens on the EnoBoard. To complete the investigation, the students were put into teams of two, and were asked to find the value of the ones and tens, hanging on the classroom walls. We have mathematicians here at ASU Prep!

Over the next few weeks, the kindergarten students will be taking a closer look at numbers in the teens. They will be decomposing the numbers. Students will use ten frames and place value blocks to look at the numbers closely. This week, the students played a snowman place value game with bean bags, ten frames, and place value blocks on the iPad minis! The students looked at the teens in many different ways! To celebrate the 100th day of school, and to support the student's learning of 3D shapes in the classroom, the kindergarten students created spheres this week. To begin, the class discussed how we could best count and sort 100 toothpicks and marshmallows. Using a giant sized ten frame, the class worked together to create ten groups of ten toothpicks. Next, each group went back to their seats to work together to sort ten groups of ten toothpicks. Once each group had 100 toothpicks, they worked together to poke them into a sphere that would hold all 100. There were several different sized spheres to choose from, and not all of them worked! Finally, each group sorted and counted out 100 marshmallows, and added them to the sphere.
