Base Ten and T-Charts

Today in math we continued exploding numbers using base ten and remembering to looks for groups of ten, five and ones. Instead of using lines to explode our numbers this time we represented them in a T-chart.
T-charts can easily help us to visualize the tens and the ones place value. We are getting really good at exploding out the tens but often miss the fives that are hiding inside the ones.

For example:

The number 38 exploded in a T-chart becomes:

There are 3 groups of 10. (10, 10, 10) and a group of 5 and 3 leftover ones in the number 38.

Using the link below you can practice giving your child double digit numbers and challenge them to depict them on this T-chart using base ten blocks. Challenge them to group the ones into a group of 5 if possible. Make sure when click on the tens and ones t-chart screen option on the bottom instead of the other options.

Here is another link that you can practice moving base ten blocks to create the number and you can reverse it and figure out the two digit number from the base ten that are shown. Try both ways. Make sure you click on numbers from 0-99 for this task.

IRIS
Today we posted a video on IRIS of ourselves reading part of a book. We wrote a comment about what we think we did well when reading out loud and what we think that we might need to improve. Please watch it with me and ask me about it!

Buddies

Today was our first day of Buddies. Ask me what my buddies name is? My buddy is in Kindergarten. We played outside. In three weeks when we have Buddies again we will read our buddies a book in an exciting voice with lots of expression!!
