Here are the Bumblebees busy with what they have started calling their "morning work". Each morning the at school students have a manipulative on their desks to use. I choose the manipulative but what they do with it is completely up to them. I have been so impressed by the amazing math that the students have come up with completely on their own in this morning work time. Here are some examples; working on what it takes to create balance, exploring area and perimeter, creating a net of a cube, a hexagonal tessellation, and maze discovery. And I did not cherry pick the best of their work! This is all happening at once on one morning that I took photos. They never cease to amaze me.
