Egg Hunt Math

Happy Spring!

To review our math theme for this week, we went on an egg hunt to find and solve addition and subtraction problems. Students had to use a magnifying glass to find a math problem on each egg. Once they found the math problem, they had to rewrite the equation and solve. 

Students used a variety of strategies to solve; including counters, fingers, number lines and mental math. Students solve using the strategy that works best for them- along with a little input from me! In the beginning of the year we worked with each strategy to find how they best solve different types of problems. Now, students know which strategy they prefer.
