In math this week it has been all about threes! The second graders began the week by helping me figure out how many circles we would need as a class if each student wanted to create a snow person with three circles. The first photos show the students solve that problem. Once we figured out we needed 66 snowballs each second grader decorated his/her own snow person to help us think about threes. I put the snow people up in a graph format and put a photo on the SMARTBoard. The next day students used the snow people to help me write equations to show a repeated addition and multiplication problem for each row of snow people. The second graders discussed with partners the patterns that they noticed. Finally, the second graders had to record observations about the number patterns they noticed. They also had to solve what would be in the 7th, 10th, and 20th rows. It was a great exercise that really challenged their thinking!
