Grade 2 learning - les blocs de dix

Bonjour! This week we were working with representing numbers using base ten materials. Our main activity was to represent as many different numbers as possible using a set number of blocks. I gave each student two blocks of 10 (long rectangles) and two units (small cubes), then asked them to choose an additional four blocks of any shape (tens or ones). Here is an example of what one student's choice could have been:

Once they had 8 blocks total, their task was to represent as many different numbers as possible using only these blocks. Look for a lined sheet of paper coming home that has their work from this task. Hopefully you can see some illustrations of  block arrangements and a numerals written beside it that will match the pictures. Here is an example:

You can practice this at home by changing the number of each type of block, using more/fewer total blocks, or using other materials that can represent 10 of something and 1 of something.
