Reviewing Important Math Concepts

Over the past several days, we have been reviewing some important Math concepts from Grade 2 that we will need to be successful in Grade 3.

We began with reviewing Even and Odd numbers.  Many of us have quite a developed understanding of these but needed a refresher.  We spent a couple of classes reading some Math stories about odd and even numbers ("Even Steven and Odd Todd" and "One Odd Day"), and we did a couple of activities to practice using these numbers.  

One activity was playing a game based upon Even Steven and Odd Todd.  Students rolled a di and could only move their game piece if the number matched their character.  So if they were Even Steven, they could only move if the number they rolled was even.

 Today, we began reviewing another important concept, Place Value.  Students worked with a partner to roll a two-digit number using place value dice.  They would then build the number using their digit cards and tent cards.  

Over the next few days, we will continue reviewing place value.

On another note, today Mrs. Deyoe completely forgot about doing our agenda note!  If it wasn't for Kiera's reminder at the end of the day, we would have all gone home with nothing written!  Unfortunately, not everyone had a chance to write it down.  If you missed it:

Tomorrow is our first early dismissal of the year.  Students are dismissed at 2:55 pm.

Sorry!
