Math

Today we started our first math lesson.  During part of the lesson the students were asked to make the number 254 as many different ways as they could with the blocks provided.  As a class they were able to figure out more than ten different ways to do this.  At the end of the lesson I gave the students a challenge question.  I asked them if they had 17 tens, how many ones would they need in order to get to the sum of 254.  Joel came up in front of the class and shared with us how he got the answer of 84.  They did a wonderful job on their first small group activity.
