Emilia asked to use the dice as we did yesterday to play the addition game. I was delighted to accommodate her request to practice and consolidate skills. She then worked on an activity sheet coloring like sums like colors. This demonstrated the commutative property which states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change the sum, or that the sum remains the same no matter how the numbers are arranged. Subject-specific vocabulary included the term addends which was introduced and sum. After a short break, Emilia worked on an activity requiring that she count shapes and graph them and we reviewed two and three dimensional shapes. She also finished an art project using the shapes she found in nature and in her classroom to create a sunflower design - and asked to take it home when dry.
