Jonathan and I began with a review of place value today. We first identified the value of the number in the tens and ones place of two-digit numbers. We then looked at two-digit numbers and four ways to write the number. This included words such as how many tens and how many ones, then in expanded form, and then by drawing a picture. Jonathan was much more confident in his responses and knowledge of place value today. As Jonathan is a Pokemon fan, we had fun with a riddle about a Pokemon character. Jonathan read the word form of numbers and matched the written numerals to find a letter. We used the letters to decode the message for the riddle. Next, we began a Scholastic Learn at Home online activity. We listened to the book, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. We made predictions as to the length of measurements the inchworm would identify. We then started a shared reading of a non-fiction book entitled, How Long Is It? In this book we talked about the ruler and standard measurement of inches. We discussed how we could use items to compare things but a ruler would give us a standard measurement. Additionally, we discussed that rulers may be different sizes (such as a 6-inch and a 12-inch ruler), but that the inch itself will always be the same. Jonathan measured several items with his ruler as we progressed through the book. We compared information from the two books to determine if statements were fact or fiction. We also matched words to their meanings for terms such as yard, yardstick, measure, inch, and ruler. Finally, we watched a Brain Pop Jr. learning video about addition and subtraction fact families. We learned vocabulary terms such as operation and fact family triangle. We discussed how these are also considered related addition and subtraction facts and he’ll see when he learns multiplication and division how the numbers will work together in a similar fashion. Jonathan scored a 4/5 on the easy quiz and a 5/5 on the hard quiz.
