Today in Math Maya brought in her Halloween candy, along with some of her classmates. She had a great time sorting her candy into various groups such as chewy and fruity candy, Twizzlers, Reeses, etc. Then she created a graph that would be suitable for demonstrating the amounts. Next Maya practiced skip counting by 2s and 5s in order to complete her graph. She used different colors to make them stand out. After graphing her candy by 5s, she successfully identified addition as the property she would use to find her total. Her grand total was 210 pieces (not counting the ones she had already eaten, hee)! This was a fun activity where Maya was able to incorporate some of the math skills she has learned. She did excellent on her 4X table drill. Her timing was her best yet- 2 minutes and 10 seconds! Maya packed and got ready for her NY trip by 10:45. Have a safe and fun-filled trip!
