I get so many amazing ideas on these days, it is really important for me to try these ideas straight away or I forget to do them.
An idea Diane (Alim mentor) had was to represent numbers in heaps of different ways. I tried that on Monday with my Alim group. We made the numbers using clay numbers, place value blocks, counters, numbers off the number line, abacus and flip chart.
Here is a photo I shared in see-saw with the family of what they did today.
I think this was really cool and will continue to do this with the rest of my class.
I love this photo Jorja, making maths look fun (like always). Maybe I should think about something like this for my guys. Sometimes I feel like there is a fundamental misunderstanding of how numbers are made up (place value)....
