This week we have started to look at simple addition stories, and the strategies we can use to solve addition problems. We will be working on addition through games, smartboard activities, word problems and pencil-to-paper work.
Impromptu math questioning and discussions are very effective. Simple activities, such as sorting everyone's shoes in the front hallway and adding them together to see how many shoes there are in total, are great ways of integrating math questions into daily life.
A website that we have been using as a warm up to our math lesson is Fun for the Brain; there are a variety of games that involve addition and other areas of math. Click on the text below to be directed to this website.

Another at home resource that we have been exploring during class is Dreambox. Central Public School has purchased access to this website in the hopes that students may access at it home to reinforce some of the learning that has been going on during school. You may access Dreambox Learning through the Central Public School homepage, you will find a link to it on the right hand side.
