We have been learning about place value by getting to know "The Terrible Teens." This year the kids will need to know how to write and read the Terrible Teens also known as numbers 10-19. They will learn so much more than that though. They have been working on composing and decomposing these numbers as well. For example, they understand that 13 is a group of 10 ones and 3 extra ones and not just a 1 and a 3. They can use drawings, number bonds, and even equations to record their thinking. Here's a fun little video to watch that helps kids grasp the concept. |
