Groups of 8, Dinosaurs, and Thanksgiving

S, J, and B make combinations

Today in math students worked on creating different combinations of 8. They used the reckon wrack and worked with a partner to create and show the ways they came up with combinations of 8. They then shared at the rug their combinations.



Students also worked on their dinosaur project today. They worked on labeling some of their dinosaurs by using a book, and they also added more details to their clay. They are really starting to think about where they want to go with this. One possible suggestion was creating a dinosaur with sticks. After Thanksgiving we will try this out.
