We have been studying place value in math workshop. Students practice this concept by playing games, writing about how they solved problems, and discussing their ideas. By explaining their work, the children gain a better understanding of the concepts. Today we made number patterns on a hundreds board and wrote about them in our math journals. Some of the patterns the children created were:
- All of the numbers with a four in the tens place.
- All of the numbers with zero in them.
- All of the even or odd numbers.
- All of the numbers with the same digits in the ones or tens place.
The goal of this unit is to help children construct understanding of the 10's and 1's structure of our number system, and use that understanding when thinking about and working with numbers.
