Cans, cans, and MORE cans!

We can hardly believe the second week of our Food Drive is almost over! We're so thankful to all of the amazing Stony Point kids who've been carrying in these heavy cans of food for the past two weeks. The boxes in our hallway are pretty close to overflowing which means we've had a LOT of adding to do. Every day we add the totals from Ms. Bindas, Mrs. Laubscher, and Ms. Payne's classes to find our grand total. We've tried a few different strategies for finding the sums of numbers over the past week. Look below to see some quality examples of different addition strategies we tried...

CJ decided to try a new "Ones & Tens" strategy

Max decided to "upgrade" the Ones & Tens strategy we tried
Mallory added two numbers with mental math,
then took the sum and added the next number...efficient!
Lainey also decided to use the Ones & Tens strategy

Ty'onte created her own strategy for checking
her accuracy using check-marks
