This week we are continuing our measurement lessons with some hands-on learning. We do math centers every week and some of our centers are on current topics, but I also like to bring in previous learning so we can practice and to provide enrichment for our students. This week we are using iPads to practice addition and subtraction skills. Students work with a partner to solve math problems. They share strategies with each other and earn points in the game Math Magic. A new center is called the Addition Machine. Students work in groups and are presented with an addition problem. They use the game to add in the correct number listed on each side of the math problem and pull the handle to see how many they have altogether. Our other two centers focus on measurement. Some of our fourth grade friends come down and read the problems to our friends and they use various manipulative to test weight, length, and height. It's been a great week. Below are some pictures of our friends in action with math.
