Matching According to Length

I made Grace three sets of towers out of unifix cubes, each set being a different length so she could match them together according to their length. I initially made all six of the cube towers the same color, which Grace easily matched. Next, I made the towers with a random selection of colored cubes in order to provide some visual distraction to make the activity more challenging. Grace absolutely loved this activity and she independently matched all of the towers according to their length. She also identified and expressed to me which of the towers were the longest and shortest. Way to go, Grace!

Unbelievable!!
Grace has a love of learning that is contagious. I love unifix cubes. This is only the beginning of so many math concepts that Grace can do with them. Next thing we know, Grace will be building numbers and then adding and subtracting them. Rebecca, you provide such a remarkable enviroment for Grace to learn and grow. Way to go, girls!
Love You Higher Than Any Unifix Tower!
