Number sense fun

 In math this week we worked on reviewing some concepts about numbers.  This might sound silly or way too easy for a first grader, but it was the perfect way to establish the same math foundation and to work on procedures and expectations.  

We started by playing a memory game.  Students had to work with their partner to match the number to the corresponding ten frame.  This was a great activity to also learn how to work with a partner.  

Later in the week, we talked about even and odd numbers.  We started off by watching a quick Brainpop Jr. about even and odd.  

Then, as a class we build a number line on the floor!  We couldn't believe it when Mrs. Wanke WROTE on the floor!  We used snap cubes to build each number.  We kept the snap cubes in pairs.  We learned that if the number had "partners" it was even, but it there was an "odd man out" the number was odd.
