Math In First Grade

We are in unit 3 and are working towards the goals of:
~combining numbers to find a sum
~finding an unknown number in an addition problem
~finding different combinations of a sum (1+9, 8+2)

We used unifix cubes to find different combinations.  Students collaborated together and noticed patterns of turn around facts (3+7 =10 and 7+3= 10).  Our crew loves the hands on math!
