Math Workshop

One of our daily rituals in Math Workshop is Calendar Math. We talk about the calendar (the date, what day of the week it is, Birthdays, etc.) and about how many days we have been in school. We also represent the number of days we have been in school through paperclips (If we have been in school for 9 days then there should be 9 paperclips).













Examples of 2-part and 3-part patterns

In Math Workshop we have begun talking about patterns. We discussed that a pattern is something that repeats and that you can find patterns all over the place! We have used several math manipulatives such as pattern blocks, linking cubes, and colored tiles to make patterns.
We also have found patterns on our calendar and other places in our classroom!

Ask your child to find a pattern at home and post a comment to tell what they found!
