Learning to Bar Model Using Creative Manipulatives

Second Graders are using strips of paper to represent the multi-step math problems.  They now have a visual representation of the problem so they can write the standard algorithm to solve the problem.  2.OA. 1As second grade students solve one- and two-step problems they use manipulatives such as snap cubes, place value materials, ten frames, and create drawings  to show their thinking. They then relate their drawings and materials to equations.

Thank You Ms. Simonelli's Class for Sharing Your Work

Working Collaboratively is Fundamental

The eight mathematical practice are embedded in all common core lessons at all grade levels. View the flipagram video to see our mathematicians at the Fuller Meadow and Howe Manning working collaboratively to solve problems.
