Math Projects

We are working to “crack the codes” of math. Did you know that math has lots of secret codes? It does! Instead of sounding out “plus” or “minus” you can just write “+” or “-“. There are lots of patterns and discoveries to be made in math! We chose to work on these projects and worked to make math discoveries.

It all started when someone made this on the counting board:

We talked about the beads on this counting board for a long time. What numbers do you see? Where are they? Can you write them? How many beads are on each line? Can you “crack the code” and find some of the math patterns in this design?

We went off to make our own projects.

Take a look at our work!

: Tess wrote her numbers and then transferred them to a 100’s chart

: Here are the numbers stacked up like steps

: Number lines to 19! What comes after 19?

: Some worked to put colored circles on the Number Road

: What math things do you notice in this creation?

: What are the differences between circle, triangle and square bracelets?

: We made origami and then opened it up and traced the lines. What do you notice about the lines?

: Allison folded up the paper and then numbered the squares. We noticed there were 6 boxes going across and 7 boxes going down to make all together 42 boxes. Can you fold paper and count the boxes?
