For a few weeks now in math, we focused on the concepts of "more than," "less than," and "equal to." We identified which group was more/less on the SmartBoard and in centers, as well as created our own groups to show more and less. Another vocabulary word that we introduced this week was "fewer." The concept of fewer is a difficult one to grasp, as the students often use the term "more" more often (e.g. "I want more candy" or "Mrs. Judy, he has more toys than I do!"). It is not often that the students would say, "I would like fewer." This week, I interchanged the words "less than" and "fewer" in order to expose the students to the new vocabulary. At home, please continue to work with your child identifying which groups have "more than," "less than/fewer," and "equal amounts." Thank you for your help and as always, thank you for all that you do to help your child be successful!
