Here are some of our reflections on what we learned from our buddies:
- My buddy taught me how to use my fingers or counting cubes. (Sanjita)
- My buddy gave me really hard questions. I like that she made the questions harder for me. (Chloe)
- I use the shells to count how many there were all together. (Evangelina)
- My buddy showed me some questions where I could use a bit more of 'counting on' with big numbers like 30, 20, and 24. (Miri)
- He started to teach me how to 'times'. We made different groups and put them together. (Jakob)
- My buddy taught me how to do adding from top to bottom, like in the story If I was a plus sign, like with carry questions like 34 + 18. Four plus eight is twelve, then I had to carry one of them. Three plus one is four. Then I add the extra one. (Chloe)
