6th Age Math

We were able to break the kids down into smaller reading and math groups this week, and it has been fun getting to know my little guys in math. We began in the second chapter- Numbers Through 10, and have practiced our counting skills by listening to counting books and using manipulatives in games. Today I read The M&Ms Counting Book- and we were able to count using (and later eating!) M&Ms! First we made a long set of 12 M&Ms, then broke these 12 into smaller groups of 2, 3, 4, and 6. Then we shaped the candies into a triangle, square, and a circle. Here are some photos of us hard at work!
