We had the pleasure of having Lori Silvas, a math specialist from Stowe, come to our classroom today and teach a math lesson. She talked about finding compliments of 5 and 10 using a ten frame card. We also worked hard at explaining our thinking out loud. This can be a challenging skill and the kids soon realized that Lori didn't accept, "I just know." Kids really had to explain the relationship between numbers and how they manipulated numbers to find an answer. We played a fun game called "Shut The Box" using ten frame cards, but you can also play with a regular deck of cards. All you need are numbers 1-9 and two dice. Ask your child how to play! They had a lot of fun!
