Math: Adding To 10
This week we’re working on adding to 10 using snowballs!
Monday we will throw snowballs at a hoop. We will add how many snowballs in the hoop and outside the hoop. Monday will be me writing the equations and students providing the answers. Tuesday will be the same game but students will write the equations on whiteboards. Wednesday will be small group practice using cotton balls as snowballs.
