Shapin' Up!

It's been a while since the last blog because of this:

Aaahhhhhhhh. Such a beauty. Nothin' like it. :) Football is so big around here, even the sweeties get into it on the playground.
love it. 

We briefly touched on word problems for a week and discussed our strategies for solving them. As always, Blair Turner's Interactive Notebook had just the perfect flipchart to put in our math journals to help us!




We also used the math journals to get a good grip on what is a "ten". This review will come in handy later!



The kiddos even got to make their own facts to sort into the pockets. Some little ones got super creative and really tried to stretch their math knowledge! Even though some of the number were waaaayyyy to big for the point of the activity, I let it slide since it was a blank card and I loved seeing the creativity. :)



We eventually moved on to SHAPES! We looked at 2-D and 3-D shapes, their properties, and how we can sort them.
We played a great game called "Ways to Fill Patterns" which was a hit in math workshop!



We also looked at shapes to really break down what makes them special from other shapes. 


Once again, from Blair Turner

At the end of the week, we focused on rectangles, rows, and columns. Friday was a great day to break out the geoboards! 




Reading was a review week, so hopefully I'll have more to share as we start a new unit this week. :) This post was short and sweet because the hubby is grilling burgers and it smells DELICIOUS, so I'll let all the pictures do the talking for our bunch.

Oh, and my October Morning Work is up and ready in my TPT store today! Go ahead and grab it for some great practice this month!
