Math

We have begun our place value unit. This work really lays the ground work for math in upper grades. During this unit, students will know:



-expressions and equations can represent real-life situations.
-our number system has structures based on groups of 10.
-the sequence of numbers follows a predictable pattern.
-the names of numbers within 120.
-a ten is a bundle of ten ones (unitizing).
-multiples of ten (10, 20, 30..,) represent groups of tens and 0 ones.
-a digit in the tens place represents bundles of ten and a digit in the ones place represents loose ones or singles.
-the digit in the tens place is more important for determining the value of a two-digit number than the ones place.
-how to make sense of quantity and be able to compare numbers.
-the meaning of the symbols >, =, <.
-the equation must have the same value on both sides of the equal sign.
-the terms bundle, column, compare, compose a ten, digit,  greater than/more than (>), hundred chart, less, less than/fewer than (<), ones, ones digit, row, tens, tens digit

This week we will be reviewing counting by 1's, 5's, and 10's using the 100 chart and the 120 chart. We will be using the number charts to see patterns as we count. We will also use an open number line to represent counting tens and ones and count objects by tens and ones.

We will play games throughout this unit to help with the concepts of place value. You may see some of these come home. Feel free to use them for additional practice at home if you wish.
