We are going to be the "Wonder of the Day" on Wonderopolis Thursday May 28, 2015! Here's Our Story- One afternoon all the first graders were gathered on the carpet discussing what we wanted to learn about numbers. When, just like that, one inquisitive mathematician asked "Is addition like subtraction?" A few students tried to answer this question, but as they did they found themselves wondering even more. Knowing we needed more time to think about this and to try out a few ideas, we headed out into the workshop to grapple with our inquiry. The more we explored the more we wondered, so we sent this tweet~ And then this happened… We were deep in our wonderings about the relationship between additional and subtraction. Friends who saw the similarities tried to convince those who did not. Those who saw the differences set out to prove they were indeed different! The debated raged on. Then, just like that we got this tweet- We are THRILLED to announce that on Thursday May 28, 2015 we will celebrate as OUR wonder will be the "Daily Wonder!" Please visit out wonder on Thursday, May 26, 2015!
