This week we began introduction to the
four processes.
Addition
Subtraction
Multiplication
and
Division
I followed our chosen curriculum
and this first week we focused on
Addition and Subtraction.
These were introduced through a story.
The story was of a squirrel family and nuts.
To clearly illustrate we brought out nuts.
We added with nuts and took away with nuts.
We drew pictures of our story and our math.
The steps were...
first with the physical nuts
then with a drawn representation
then with our number symbol.
They caught on fairly quickly and we had fun practicing
our nut problems.
We also enjoyed our time outside this week.
The lake behind our house finally has enough ice
and we were invited to a friends pond!
The boys love to skate.
Merry Christmas everyone!
until next week
~Blessings
