Math Explorations

We have been learning rules and routines for how to work in small groups, large groups, and in this Math Exploration activity. Students need to have experiences with different math tools, through exploration, in order to better prepare for learning with those tools. Here, we see students using stencils, pattern blocks, base 10 blocks, geoboards, a scale, calculators, and attribute blocks. They are doing a fine job of working to maintain their volume level, as well as working appropriately with the tools.
