Early Mathematics and Routines

Remember these photos... because in a few short weeks you will how we will use these early math experiences to begin a deeper understanding of counting, number and number fluency, measurement and geometry.  By learning routines such as how to throw a dice, how to share materials and work in a group, sort, make patterns and understand how numbers are used in the world around us, then we can apply that knowledge to number sense.  

From throwing dice individually to playful group dice throws, looking for the same dot pattern or highest/lowest amount.  This was a natural turn kids in the class created... how special to find mathematical thinkers in our youngest minds!
