Math:  Decomposing the Number 8

New Concept: Today we are going to work with the number 8. Just like before, I am going to build combinations of cubes to make 8. If I decide to start with 4 blue, how many orange will I need? I need to remember to count them. Count with me. Now I am going to use my math talk card to write them down. Show the students how you write in “4 and 4 make 8.” Now I need to make another set of cubes that matches my first set.

Whole Group Explore: Today, you and your partner will play match it with 8. Then you will take turns writing the different ways you made 8. 

Student application: Students will practice writing the number 8.

Students will use two different colored crayons to make 8 in a variety of ways. They will write the different combinations they created
.

 Sewing Project Inspired by Our K-Kids!
Our class has been selected by Mrs. Sloneker's high school Fabric and Fiber class to make stuffed monsters created by the k-kids' drawings. They will be visiting our class this morning to work with your child to develop a monster. Mrs. Sloneker expects the project will take about a week and then her class will return to deliver their works of art! Please click here to see a short clip about this project.
