Celebrating 20 Years Of The Magic Tree House

Loopy Kids!

We were feeling kind of loopy this morning!  Our class talked about efficiency and counting today.  What the students discovered was when you use grouping, counting a collection is so much faster!  It is especially easy if you use a counting method you are most comfortable with.  Most kids agreed using 10's was the best method.
