Happy Purple Friday

6-B had a great time showing our Raven's spirit!

We also enjoyed beginning our first math chapter. Above, we sorted manipulatives by various attributes (color, size, type of animal etc.) We then began our written work in Chapter 1.

 Below, you will find a summary of the objectives and vocabulary we will be covering during that time:

•     identifying objects that are alike and different; vocabulary- alike, different
•     sorting objects using one attribute; vocabulary- sort
•     sorting objects to determine whether or not they belong in a group
•     sorting objects using more than one attribute
•     using one-to-one correspondence to show equal groups; vocabulary- same number
•     using one-to-one correspondence to identify a group with more; vocabulary-more than
•     using one-to-one correspondence to identify a group with less ; vocabulary- less than

Please feel free to practice some of your own sorting, grouping, and one-to-one correspondence at home using these vocabulary words.  In class, I encourage the students to physically touch and then move objects as they practice on-to-one correspondence with manipulatives.
