Sums of 10

What a busy week we have had in First Grade.  My liitle ones worked so hard and they are really getting the routines down.  This past week we had our first assessment in Math and are ready to move onto Chapter 2 and adding sums to 10.  I decided to spend Friday's Math time doing a lesson with ladybugs and the sums of 10.  We started out by each student using watercolors to paint a ladybug. We will be using this lady bug as a sorting mat for the next week or so. If you would like a copy you can click here:   Ladybug Sorting Mat.

  Once everyone had painted there ladybugs, and they dried, we used 10 black buttons to make math stories.  After lots of practice everyone got to choose their own math story to represent sums of 10.  They used black sharpies to make black spots.  Then we used our iPads to record each other telling our stories.
