Today we did some reading in the morning followed by some math around "les nombres naturels". We are learning how to represent numbers in many differnt ways and we saw six of those today:
- Forme symbolique: (ex: 1342)
- Forme décomposée: (ex: 1342 = 1000+300+40+2)
- Forme écrite (avec des mots): (ex: mille trois cent quarante-deux)
- En utilisant les positions: (ex: Millier: 1, Centaines: 3, Dizaines: 4, Unités: 2)
- En utilisant des matériaux de base dix (ex: blocks).
- En faisant un dessin (ex: drawing blocks)
Learning these really well will help us build a strong foundation. Many of these show up in our weekly math homework too and may show up in our Math-a-thon :)
After math, we continued to work on our simple shapes art (lines, etc, using chalk pastels). Art can be a messy affair :)
This afternoon we continued to work on our own art before wrapping up the day with gym.
