On Wednesday's Morning Message, which students read when they first arrive in the morning, I explained that we would be exploring the concept of "factors" in math later that day. Caleb, Henry, and Anna Grace were curious about factors chose to start investigating factors even before math began. They started by finding the factors of 100 and moved on to 64. Here is their work:
During math we read the book One Hundred Hungry Ants, which tells the story of 100 ants who need to get to the food faster and try all different arrangements to make their lines shorter. They begin with 1 line of 100 and finally make 10 lines of 10, only to find the picnic is already over. Afterwards, students chose their own number of ants to explore. Some students chose 12 ants while others took on more challenging numbers like 120, 1,000, and even 10,000 ants.
