Jan. 7th- adding up to a great day!

Today we worked with number lines to help us solve and create our own addition problems.  We are careful to write number sentences which include the addition symbol and equals sign.  Using number lines enabled many  students  to do addition problems all the way up to 30!

Addi and Nola working hard!

Jackson busy adding into the teens!

Mason and his number line.
Math buddies Braden and Henry solving some tricky ones!
