We wrote number stories today. First, I reviewed how the kids could come up with a story, draw it, and then write a number model to match what happened in the story. We discussed the addition and equal symbols, and how important these symbols are in our number stories. Then the kids went off to write their own. We had stories about jelly beans, giraffes, and televisions. The best part of this lesson was when the kids each took a turn to share their work. Everyone helped each other with the symbols. As they shared their stories, we would check the numbers. They were delighted to discover their stories were correct.
