So, lesson learned again! Never introduce a new toy without giving kids a chance to play with it. We tried to focus on place value, but the rods were too good as drumsticks, and the hundreds were very useful to build towers so after a few minutes of trying, I gave in and let them build. They were very good construction workers! Not so great mathematicians during this lesson! HAHA.
We also celebrated International Dot day in honour of book ``The Dot`` by Peter H. Reynolds. Students were given a construction paper circle and instructed to turn that circle into something of their choosing. We came up with flowers, bugs, cats, frogs, swords, tacos, a tiger and many other creations. We didn`t get finished, so the completed projects will be up in a future post. For now, here are the beginnings.
