Ten Black Dots

Product Information

I love to make class books and place them in our classroom library. Students feel like their work has a purpose. They see themselves as young authors!

Crews was drafted into the army in 1963, and sent to Frankfurt, Germany. Their first daughter, Nina was born in Germany, and their second was born a year later in New York. Nina is also an award-winning children's book author.Students will be able to identify patterns among the different sets of addends used to equal the sum of 10.

Students are at tables communicating about the different combinations of two numbers needed to get the sum of 10. Students are using numerals to represent the different ways they have combined two numbers to equal 10 by recording each combination onto their recording papers. The teacher is moving around, asking questions, observing work, making suggestions, and guiding when needed. The groups will clean up their material according to the instructions. I put them together into a book so that students can look through it whenever they want! They love seeing themselves as authors and illustrators. urn:oclc:310394530 Scandate 20100414173803 Scanner scribe9.sanfrancisco.archive.org Scanningcenter sanfrancisco Source

Looking for something different

Instruct them to use the pencil to draw a picture that uses some of the dots the way we have been talking about. (You can use all of them, but you don’t have to. Use as many as you would like for your picture.) When done, they can color drawing with markers. Sorting is an important skill to learn for beginning math skills. This is a super simple to set up sorting activity and will help kids sort numbers 1 through 10. Also have sheets with a drawing already set up, in case there is a child who might only be able to color. From a young age, his talent for drawing was encouraged by his family and his teachers. When he got into high school, one of his teachers became a mentor to him, and personally made sure that he got into art school. This IWB Maths game works well as part of whole class teaching and learning or as a small adult-led guided group session. Children can write the addition calculation on small whiteboards or show the answer with their fingers. This game helps to consolidate children’s conceptual subitising skills and addition within ten. This game is designed in PowerPoint and therefore easily editable (24 slides in length and fully interactive).
