Dear 1st Grade Families,
First grade math is fabulous. This past week our focus was on number bonds and number stories. As we are talking about number bonds we are using the terms whole, part, part. If the whole is 5, the parts could be 2 and 3, 1 and 4, or 0 and 5. Numbers bonds are written as shown below.
Students have practiced making number bonds with manipulatives (bears and linking cubes). After practicing with manipulatives students started working on a number bond “project”. Students made a picture of their family and wrote number bonds and number stories to match. Students are presenting these “projects” to the class.
In addition to our work with number bonds and number stories, we reviewed writing number words (1-20).
Here is the list of homework for this week:
