For today's celebration, we tied in as much FUN math as we could! In small groups, we made line plots of the candy colors in a box of conversation hearts. We will combine our small group data tomorrow and analyze the class' data during our focus lesson.
We reviewed lines of symmetry by folding a piece of construction paper in half, then drawing half of a heart and cutting it out.
We used this heart learn about congruent shapes by tracing the heart to make two more congruent hearts (same size and shape). We decorated our Valentine bags with our congruent hearts on one side and some shapes that are not congruent on the other side.
We even had some "real life" division situations. "If our table has 24 candy hearts and there are 4 of us, how many should each of us get?" Some tables even helped us learn about dividing with remainders!
And finally, a card exchange and treats. :-)
