 * Math Everyday! **

Did you ever use Cuisenaire Rods in Elementary school? They are the little wooden colored cubes of different lengths. Each one has a value from 1 to 10. We will be using them a lot this year to build number sense and learn math addition, subtraction and multiplication facts.

Currently we are working on Early Numeracy skills. We are making equations for numbers 5-10 with Cuisenaire Rods. We found little staircases emerge when we do all the equations in order! Next, we practice writing all the equations by looking at the rod equations. If we write them in order we won't leave any out! Every day we practice skip counting by 10. We start at lots of different numbers and count up and down. Recently we counted from 67 to 177! IWe are learning to say these large numbers without saying and between the hundreds and tens. It is tricky to say one hundred seventy seven, not one hundred and seventy seven. A good website to work with cuisenaire rods is: [|www.nrich.maths.org/content/id/4348/cuisenaire.swf]
