In math today we discussed addition. We first talked about what addition means- putting things/numbers together and counting the total; and then how we know we're going to be adding- whenever you see the + sign. We talked about what adding 0 to a number does and what adding 1 to a number does. Avery helped us notice that when you add 1 to a number, you move up one place on the number line. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) This was an amazing discovery in our classroom today! To practice what we had learned, we used our math deck of cards to add numbers and write number sentences. We also used our number lines to help us add and help us count up. For example, if you turned over a 5 and a 3, you would start at 5 on the number line and move up 3 spaces and land on 8. Then we wrote, 5+3= 8. Using a number line is an excellent way to help us add.
Gavin uses the number line to add two numbers.
