We have been finishing up our unit on number sense and as one culminating activity I read the story, "One Is a Snail, Ten Is a Crab" by April Pulley Sayre. It's a really cute counting book with a fun twist.
After reading the book I gave the students a number between 20 and 100. I also gave them pictures of the different feet in the story that I found online
here. They then had to create a picture showing that number in feet. For example if their number was 29 they could use two crabs, one insect, two feet, and a snail.
We have also been working on doubles and I found a great doubles craftivity on pinterest, which led to a
great blog by Amy Lemons The students created a Doubles Dude and then wrote out the doubles facts. They are quite cute!
It's been a fun Math week. Maybe too much fun????
