Kindergarten, Math, Weeks 34 & 35

Week 34

Monday

• Game: Four Numbers
• I wrote 4 numbers (10, 6, 9, 5) on a piece of paper and we took turns writing down all the addition and subtraction equations we have learned for each number
• Because the only subtraction equation that equals 10 is 10 - 0, we got creative: 10 + 10 - 10 = 10
• We ended up not just sticking with the equations we have learned, making this a good "thinking" game. 3 + 3 + 3 = 9, 1 + 1+ 3 = 5, etc.

Tuesday

• Comparison
• I gave each of us a piece of paper that I had folded into 16 squares (then unfolded).
• Secretly, we each wrote a number in 1 square.
• We revealed our numbers and K. had to tell which was larger.
• We actually had fun playing this. Some numbers were up in the thousands, and we talked about place value.
