Counting Strategies

Today in Math, the students continued to talk about representing (writing) numbers in different ways. We referred to our chart to help us!

Next, we started to talk about counting strategies. As a class we estimated how many cubes were inside of a bag. We talked about different strategies to figure out our answer. We counted sets of 10. With the leftover cubes we counted by 1's to get our answer. 

The students worked in partners with their own bag of cubes and small 10-frames. They had to come up with different counting strategies to determine how many cubes were inside of their bag. Some counted by 1's, some counted by 5's and some counted by 10's to get their answer! It was great to see the different counting strategies that we already know. Well done Grade 2's. We will continue to work with counting strategies and representing numbers tomorrow.
