We've been talking a lot about place value. To help us be better prepared for 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction, I will provide tons of experiences with place-value concepts for ones, tens and hundreds. By this time of the year we can name/identify numbers up to 100 and are learning to find their representation using base-10 blocks. We are also learning to exchange cubes (ones) for longs (tens) in order to represent numbers by using the fewest number of base-10 blocks...this will help us with regrouping later on.
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.
