Math This Week

9-3 Objective- Show 8 and 9 in two parts and in different ways.

• At home idea- (Materials: 2 different color straws or other solid color objects). Select 3 red straws and 6 yellow straws. Count the whole collection and then count the number of red straws and yellow straws. You child will say, “ I have 9 straws. 3 are red and 6 are yellow”. To extend the activity change the number of straws (4-9) in the whole group or change the number of yellow and red straws (ie. 9 is 2 red and 7 yellow).

9-4 Use a ten-frame to show 10 in different ways.

• At home ideas- Make a Lego tower made up of 10 blocks in two colors (5 blue and 5 green). Have your child count and tell the number of each color (Ie. 10 is 5 blue and 5 green). To extend the activity change the number of colored Legos’s in the tower of 10 blocks, draw a picture, or write the sentence (Ie. 10 is 6 blue and 4 green).
