This week we worked on story problems with addition and subtraction facts. The children learned to pick out the important information in a story problem and discussed clues which helped them sort through the information. The children are gaining a good understanding of base ten and numbers to 20. This week we used a tens/ones chart, cube and number cards and constructed towers of ten and ones to denote numbers to 20 and then investigated how to make 30. Some children still confuse the teens but with reinforcement they are quickly grasping the concepts.
