We do a lot of 'partner work' or teamwork during our math lessons. Here is a picture of the students working together to make different patterns. They were each given a handful of unifix cubes, had to put together their cubes in an ABAB pattern, and then had to find a friend whose blocks would continue their pattern. When they were finished we compared the different pattern towers, talked about which tower had more/fewer cubes, and the students presented their patterns. They are really enjoying math. We talk about how mathematicians count, compare, sort, and measure every day.
