M is for Morning Question!

We had a great morning question today!  It was related to the book Love You Forever by Robert Munsch.  It is a beautiful book and fits very nicely with our topic of change.

Our morning question has such great learning - we had some good discussions around the question, we do statistical learning as well as number knowledge.


I think the parents were a bit surprised by what the children considered most fun!!!

Based on this data we came up with the following statements - 


Miss Gargan asked a new questions - the answers are very interesting!!

After these discussions we did some number knowledge work with this data.


There was lots of good maths going on.  
*The children were able to count all the names and get an answer of 13.
*Using our knowledge of adding 1 we knew that 9+1 makes 10.  We used our fingers to double check this.
*Next we worked on the problem 10+3 - we used the counting on stragety and put the biggest number 10 in our heads, and counted on 3 - 10....11, 12, 13.
*One clever child made the observation that there are 14 children in our class but only 13 had answered the questions.  More maths!!  Subtraction this time - 14-13=1.

Did you know we did all that with our morning question???
