Math Fun

Today we had a lot of fun during our morning centers.  We read a book called The Tangram Magician.  We learned that tangrams is an ancient puzzle invented by the Chinese.  We also did many tangram puzzles on the Smartboard.  They can be tricky!  They each made their own sets of tangrams and they will be coming home today along with an note for explanation on how to make different pictures at home.  The class also enjoyed reading their fortunes in their fortune cookies at snack time.  This morning we also used the pan balance scales to figure which object was heavier than the other.  We had quite a math morning.  Below are just a few pictures to give you a glimpse of it!
