MAKE IT EQUAL/BALANCE THE SCALE

Pretty advanced stuff, if you ask me!

Today we played Make It Equal.  We looked at different expressions (number sentences without equal signs) to see if they were worth the same amount.  For example, over here we have 3+3 and 2+4.  These are different expressions but are both equal to 6. Therefore, we can say that 3+3=2+4.  It's kind of like trying to balance a scale.  Tomorrow we'll throw in some expressions that are not equal.

Rain is great!  We love it and we need it.  BUT, we also love outdoor recess.  We NEED outdoor recess.  It helps keep it in check.  So we did an anti-rain dance (just for the times we go outside).
