Today we played an Everyday Math game to learn about writing tallies. In 1st grade 5 tally marks are called a "gate" and 2 gates are circled to make a "corral." This helps to count the tallies and reinforces counting by 5's and 10's. What are some ways you can tally at home?
I graduated from Southwest Texas State University with a B.S. in Education. I've taught both private and public school for 20 years. I was an active neighborhood parent at Mark Twain (now my daughter is starting middle school at Pin Oak!)...and am proud to teach there, too! I am excited about providing a challenging inquiry based experience as well as creating a caring, reflective and supportive classroom community.
