Care Corner Photo Journal - Volume 3
Every afternoon we do math. After math class we usually do "math extra". It's work they can do on their own to reinforce a concept or math skill (usually an independent worksheet)l. Today after "math extra" we still had some time so we used our "math kits". They each have a bag with math materials in them for the sole purpose of exploring math and having some fun. Today I am the one who had fun watching them with their math kits. They built with pattern blocks (including the Great Wall of China), they made patterns, they mixed unifix cubes with pattern blocks, they built math problems and played teacher with the flashcards. It was suppose to be a productive way to fill some extra time. Instead it was 15 minutes of math fun...and then some. It was math extra...extra.
