A Look at Math Workshop

Who knew math could be such fun? 

Today in Math Workshop, students were introduced to a counting game, Collect 20 Together. Students took turns rolling a dot cube and taking that many counters. Play continued until students had at least 20 counters. The dot cubes allowed students to practice automatic recognition of sets and adding two sets together to see how many counters they got to add. Students worked with a partner to count the counters altogether. Students learned the game quickly and had a great time playing. Take a look...


Camden was my partner. He's very good at counting!
