During math time, we make numbers in many ways. One way is with our "Power of Ten" cards. These cards are designed so that children can create visual images of numbers in their minds. As you can see, there are 6 tens and then 5 units or ones in a visual shape that the students can subitize (see at a glance without really counting). Subitizing is a building block of math just like phonemic awareness (being able to hear and manipulate the sounds in words) is a building block of learning to read. At the Annex, we all know that we are teaching math differently than we learned it. You are always welcome to come in and ask questions about what we are doing differently in math.
