Math – Operations and Algebraic Thinking…

During math, KZE students are exploring some basic concepts of operations and algebraic thinking.  We are learning to represent addition using objects, fingers, drawings, explanations, and equations.  We will continue trying to solve addition word problems by using drawings to show our work.  We also are finding different ways to make 10 with the help of our ten frames.  We are using colored counters to represent addition facts to 10.  We used two different colors of counters to fill the ten frame, say the number sentence, and used numbers and symbols to represent the solution.  We will continue to practice these skills in the coming weeks.

  1. Dear KZE,
    I liked seeing all the ways you made 10 and how you wrote out the equation for each one. I thought of an equation for 10:

    2+3+2+3 = 10

    Maybe you could show that equation on your tens frame?
