The Sunflower Class Mathematician of the Day was Nicole! We started learning a new strategy to help us find missing numbers in addition sentences, this was a tricky strategy where we had to count on and represent the number of places we were counting on by drawing circles. Nicole was able to very clearly explain and show how to use the strategy.
