I'm pretty new to any sort of formal concepts, I usually just put together what I think would work =) So it was a 3x3 grid to hold up to nine, so the idea would be that if it got more than nine it would kick it up into the 10's pile?Amy Mazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052176651841122314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872359089210030417.post-34139446408779495722011-02-07T14:51:05.975-05:002011-02-07T14:51:05.975-05:00I was just at a math inservice and we were talking...I was just at a math inservice and we were talking about teaching math concepts. The instructor provided us with a 3X3 grid and we used small unifix cubes to show the representation of each number. We always had to keep the board balanced side to side or top to bottom (so each representation looked like the number on a domino) then the 10 was a whole stick of unifix cubes to the left of the grid. This was a really neat visualization that helped a couple of my kiddo's at work. I have a few handouts that go along with it. I love your ideas and am having fun thinking about how I can incorporate what I already do at work into preschool when Zeke gets older!!cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923246785537411571noreply@blogger.com
