First Grade just finished up a math unit that focused on addition and subtraction strategies. The best part was also learning about different kinds of penguins which anchored our work on some big first grade math concepts like doubles facts, fact families, story problems, measurement, and skip counting. Check out our observations on our penguin pairs!
