Decomposing Numbers

I hope everyone is enjoying their snowy day. I can't believe how much snow has fallen in the past two weeks!

I wanted to share some pictures with you from our math lessons last week. We have been working on decomposing numbers. In the lesson below, I gave students 12 counters and allowed them to explore and work together to figure ways to break down the number (for example, 6+6 or 4+4+4). This a great way to build number sense and build "math talk". They love doing it too and were very motivated to find as many ways as possible.
