Place Value and Skip Counting

 Here is a quick update about what we have been doing in Math class!

Our One's have been working on skip counting. We talked about different ways we can count (by 1's, 2's, 5's and 10's). The One's were given baggies of objects to count. They needed to decide how they are going to count their objects (by 2, 5 or 10), put the objects into groups of 2's, 5's or 10's and then skip count the objects. They are getting very good at this!

 

 

Counting his group by 5's. 44 objects-the kids even know what to do when they can't put their objects into even groups of 5!

This little lady was counting by 2's. You can't see it, but she stacked her counters into stacks of 2.

They loved counting by 5's.



This little one finished counting by 2's so she decided to count her group of objects again but this time by 5's!



Another little one who finished counting by 2's and has started counting by 5's.


 

 

 

 



The Two's have been working on place value.The development of the concept of place value centres around grouping activities and the children's understanding of unitising (the concept of 10 ones equals 1 ten). We have been using ten frames and place value mats to help teach this concept.
