Addition Facts to 10
Example:
5 + 3 = ___
We put 5 counters in a cup. Then we got ready to add 3 more. We shook the cup and said, “5…” and while adding one cube at a time said, “6, 7, 8.”
Students also worked with a Math partner to play an addition card game.
Addition Card Game
Each player flips a card. Students start with the greater number and count on to find the total. Then they write the number sentence on their recording page.
Card #1 - 6
Card #2 - 4
6...7, 8, 9, 10
Number Sentence: 6 + 4 = 10

Sounds and Vibrations
Science Vocabulary
Volume: how loud or soft a sound is
Pitch: how high or low a sound is
Students also used spoon-gongs to investigate the question, "How does sound travel from the source to the receiver?" They learned that when you hit the spoon, the spoon vibrates and makes a sound, so the spoon is the sound source. The vibrations move to the string and then to the cup. Finally, the sound is received by the ear because our ears are sound receivers.
Have a wonderful weekend!
