Kindergarten Math...What does it look and sound like?



 

After lunch, students take out their white boards and practice writing their numerals from 1-10. We love singing this song as we practice. By the end of kindergarten, students should be able to read and write numerals from 0-20.




We put our white boards away and take out our math binders for Math Workshop. When all of our materials are ready, we transition to the floor for calendar math and fluency practice. Fluency is very high paced and energetic. We are currently practicing how to count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence.

Each lesson includes fluency, an application problem, concept development, and a student debrief. This week we are focusing on classifying objects into given categories, counting the number of objects in each category, and sorting the categories by count.
At the end of our day, we have math stations. Students are able to explore manipulatives and practice skills we are currently learning.


Can you believe your little one is getting all of this math in one day? Make sure to leave a comment and tell our mathematicians how proud you are of them. Ask your child about their favorite math lesson so far.
