Second graders reviewed calculator functions, practiced skip count patterns and identified coins and their values during math workshop this week. While programming class calculators, mathematicians made several discoveries and were eager to share the various equivalent names they had come up with for given numbers. Number models, tally marks and visual representations such as coin and dominos clues were just a few symbols used to show their names for numbers. Students also practiced using math language to describe skip counting patterns as they participated in counting and transition games throughout the day.
