This morning Monkey J had some fun with pirate math:
I lined up his pirates with some coins underneath them. He had to count how many coins each pirate had:
And then match the pirates with the numbers I had placed on the counter. I included a bunch of numbers to make it a bit more difficult:
It was a fun time and we spoke like pirates the entire time! When we were done with the exercise, Monkey J placed all of the coins in the treasure chest. He took them one at a time from each pirate and would subtract one coin each time, saying, "3 coins, minus 1, leaves this pirate with 2 coins". An impromptu subtraction lesson!
