Kindergarten Mathematicians


Our kindergartners have been hard at work during their math time.  They have been writing and sequencing the numbers 0-31, counting groups of objects, counting by 1's, 2's, 5's and 10's, counting backward from 20, counting 0-115, and choosing what is 1 less or 1 more than a given number.  They have worked so hard and should be very proud!

Oral counting 0-115! 

This student is independently sequencing 0-31.

These students are blasting off like a rocket when
practicing counting backward beginning at 20.

3rd Grade Math

We are working toward mastering our multiplication facts.  Students have an extra incentive to master the facts as they are working toward building their very own banana split!  During the week students practice at the level they are at and each week have the opportunity to take a timed test. Each time they pass a new level they color in more of their banana split.  They will be rewarded for their hard work later this Spring when they get to make and eat their reward!



                     x0 facts = spoon                     
x1 facts = bowl
              x2 facts = 1/2 banana              
x012 = 1/2 banana
                x3 facts = ice cream                
 x4 facts = ice cream 
               x5 facts = ice cream                
x345 = topping
              x6 facts = topping              
x7 facts = topping
x8 = nuts
x9 facts = sprinkles
x6789 = whipped topping
all facts = cherries
