What are we learning in math?

Symmetry is all around us. The towers we are building, the pictures we are drawing with miras, the shapes we are tracing, the paper we are folding are all examples of symmetry. All students are recognizing the symmetry and grade twos are also drawing lines of symmetry.

We have also been learning about mass. Students have been exploring the relative mass of a variety of objects using a balance scale. Grade ones are describing which object is heavier or lighter. Grade twos are counting how many cubes it takes to balance an object and ordering a group of objects from lightest to heaviest.

As well, we have been working with numbers in words. Through simple printing practice and also games like memory, go fish and hopscotch, students are learning how to read and write numbers in words. (Grade ones to 10 and grade twos to 20)
