Math manipulatives


This week in math, we are beginning Topic 4: Comparing numbers to 10. We began by making comparisons to the number 5. Students are identifying if the number is greater than or less than 5. We learn these new concepts through visual examples, discussion, using manipulatives (red and yellow counters in this lesson), and problem solving skills.

Activity to try at home: Give your child a number between 0-10. Ask them if it is greater than or less than 5. They could even compare the two sets using a favorite toy at home, such as lego guys or cars.
