Changing Matter

Yesterday and today we studies how matter changes when we do different things to it.

Doubles and Near Doubles

Students had to each flip a card over. If the students flipped doubles or near doubles they raced to find the sum of the addends. If they won, they recorded their equation on their chart. Students learned that using mental strategies to solve problems was much more efficient than counting with their fingers. 

I'm a Scientist!

We observed, recorded, and asked questions about the "dancing raisins". Students learned that they are scientist!

Getting my classroom ready!
