As we have been working through Rylan's lessons (she is midway through Year 1 of MEP), she has been having difficulty readily identifying number partners when adding. When we hit the practice pages for adding up to six, it was time to have her use some number strips. Instead of printing out and cutting up a bunch of strips, I just pulled out our box of Cuisenaire rods, and wrote their 'value' on them with a Sharpie. And then I helped her build these patterns to help her see the partnerships better.
But. I didn't tell her what we were building.
And I know we got somewhere with this because all of a sudden she exclaimed, "Wait!!! I see something! I see a pattern!".
Bingo.
