Today we did some work on ordering numbers from least to greatest. We spent some time discussing the math terms least and greatest and how we determined if one number was larger than another. After just a short time, they were able to verbalize that when ordering numbers you need to first look at the tens place. If the digits are the same in the tens place, then you move to the ones place and look at that digit. We worked cooperatively in partners to order from least to greatest and tomorrow we will continue but will work from greatest to least.
Some questions you could ask your child:
- Which number is greater ____ or ____?
- How do you know?
- Order these numbers from greatest to least (give them 3 or 4).
- How did you decide ____ was the greatest? Smallest?
Coming Up:
- No school Friday
- Scholastic Book Orders due Monday (if you need secret books, please email me)
