1/2 & 1/3 were pretty fun to teach. Michael loved the idea of sharing a pie with his sisters. I think he was digging the 2/3 & 3/3 idea even more :)
Money! We work several days on money. I put a pile of coins out & had Michael separate them, calling each by name & their value as he went. What kid doesn't like playing with money! Later I lined some out as shown above & had him write what it was and their value. Sorting & creating patterns. We also worked on: If Mom wanted 8 cents, what coins could you give her? Which combo would give her the most coins? And the least? Michael chuckled through most of that, which is his way of saying he gets it & loves it.
Counting by 2's was a snap when we used shoes. Can count by 2's up to 20 now.
Counting by 5's using fingers vs. hands concept. Still working on that one. Trying to come up with another way of teaching this. Michael's doing addition & subtraction, but I realized there were some basic concepts that I hadn't covered yet. Fun week for Michael cuz Math & Science are his favs! Gearing him up for telling time :)
