Seasonal Math!



 As we continued exploring the concepts of addition, we had some fun making our own equations for our peers to solve. One friend set up the petals on the flower, and the other counted the amount of petals per color in order to set up, and solve the addition equation.  










    
We worked together in pairs to practice what we learned!

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8! Addition is a piece of cake!

How many ways can you make the number 8!? In honor of the 8 days of chanukah, Gan Aleph put their addition skills to the test! We sat as a group and experimented with 8 candles. The children worked together to take 1 candle and figure out how many more candles they need to make the number 8. We used numbers and math signs to help us create different math sentences to go with our candle equations. When we finished all 9 ways to make the number 8, we read The Eight Nights: A Chanukah Counting Book, by Jane Bearman. During center time, we reinforced this lesson with an individual addition chart.
