Today the class solved their first 'real world' math problem as second graders. I told them that Mrs. Keller, our librarian needed their help. She recently received 134 books and needed to know how many book shelves to purchase if one shelf held 10 books. Teams were given chart paper, and a variety of math manipulatives to help solve their problem. Once each team had an answer for Mrs. Keller, they presented their chart to the class explaining how they solved the problem. What a great way to practice place value and problem solving.
