Perfecting Our Math Skills

For the past month the students have been working hard to perfect their math skills in addition and subtraction! Some of us are moving on to double digits, borrowing in subtraction and even carrying over in addition!

The children have been perfecting ANSWERING addition and subtraction problems, but how about MAKING the problems????

We put them to the test to see how well they would do when they created their own math problems for each other.  Each student used different materials to help create a math problems..

                                                                   Using Popsicle sticks...

               Each child wrote each math problem on their own, and picked what numbers they wanted to use..
                                          They counted out each item to help make sure they were correct!

                                                     Using the spinner to pick a number! ;-)

  Some of the students love drawing pictures, so we used their pictures to help create math problems.

 Mark drew out ten suns and than cut each one out to decide what math problems he would like to set up for himself.

                                         " I'm going to use the counter since I love it so much! "

                              Tirza said she wanted 17 hearts.  She made more than 17, so we number the page and she chose her favorite 17 hearts to use in her math problems. 

Mark made 5 orange suns, and 5 blue suns.  He created the math problem "5 blue suns and 5 orange suns is 10 suns" ~ 5 + 5 = 10

Here are some of our first math worksheets created by the students ;0)
