Part, Part, Whole

Today in math we talked about how knowing that numbers can be broken down into to parts can help use find a missing addend.  We call this part, part, whole!


We started on the floor using a giant part, part, whole chart.   Mrs. Wanke would put the whole number in the top of the chart. Then she would show one of the parts with bugs on one side of the chart.  Then, we would come up and count on while placing bugs on the other side of our chart. This helped us find the missing part.


We continued working on during our guided math rotation to Mrs. Wanke.


She gave each of us our own part, part, whole mat with one of the parts missing. 


We used candy corns to count on to find the missing part.  After find the missing part, we had to write the two equations that went along with our chart. 


The best part about this activity was being able to eat the candy corns when we were done!
