Math This week the children will continue to work on making groups of objects. They will also be using play dough to make quantities 1-10 on a ten frame mat. They have had the opportunity to work with almost all of the tools they will use during Math Workshop; where they go and how we use them. The children have been doing a nice job learning how Math Workshop works and how to rotate through the centers. Once they are more independent I will start working with small groups.
