Thinking about Math!

So far we have been successful using different strategies to help us solve "working on" multiplication combinations.  Some of our strategies include: using a "start with" combination, skip counting, repeated addition, making arrays and breaking them into more manageable pieces. 

Which combinations are difficult for you?  What is the strategy you use to help you find the answer?  Tell us!

Our Math Agreements

During our math lessons, we have been talking about what we want our math environment to be like.  We talked about what our math classroom should look like, feel like, and sound like in order for us to work and learn the best that we can.  We used what we talked about to make some math agreements and to make personal goals for ourselves.

In math, we agree to:

• do our best work.
• listen to other people's ideas.
• try to do our work neatly.
• stay focused.
• try to help others.
