Please Comment on A Mathematics Problem



                                                                    Our Word Wall



Just a reminder of the word wall words for the month of January:  can your child read, spell and write these words?  The word wall in our classroom is growing each month as we add about 5 new words each week.  At the end of April, we will have all 110 words posted and then continue to work on phonics, spelling patterns and daily use and mastery of all words.   
Jan. 3rd--day, was, saw, in, out
Jan 9th--there, teacher, ride, animal
Jan. 18th--school, people, how
Jan. 23--but, nice, on, off
Jan. 30--up, down, can't (cannot), won't (will not)
 And now the Mathematics Problem:  Choose the number of trays that best challenges you!
There were (12, 25, 32) cafeteria trays on the shelf to be washed.  Miss Debbie washed 9 of the trays.  How many still need to be washed.  Challenge yourself to use a known fact to solve the problem.  Can you solve this some, some went away problem in more than one way?  Respond to the problem by commenting below for a treat on Monday!
