TECHNOLOGY TUESDAY

In math the First Graders are working on creating Number Bonds. Number Bonds are numbers that belong in a fact family. Example:
2 + 4 = 6, 4 + 2 = 6, 6 - 2 = 4, 6 - 4 = 2. Here are some games the children will play in computer class this week to reinforce number bond skills. One of the math tools we use is a rekenrek (you might remember the abacus) to help group numbers as we count. 2 websites will provide practice seeing numbers using a rekenrek.
