Main Curriculum Tie: Kindergarten - MathematicsStandard 3 Objective 2Identify and use measurable attributes of objects and units of measurement. Materials:Web Sites Clock Craft Time Sites Identifying Time - The Hour Time Theme Unit Background For Teachers:Use these starter ideas first as part of an instructive mini-lesson. Then use them again as practice and/or assessment at the beginning of the next day. They can also be expanded or modified slightly to be used in centers for more practice. Many of these activities can be repeated several times during the year to reinforce mastery.Instructional Procedures:Measurement of Time?Clocks Class graph. As they enter the classroom, children will choose one of two graph columns on the floor (I take my bath in the a.m. or I take my bath in the p.m.) in which to place a full sheet of construction paper. Teacher will place pictures of clocks along the bottom of the graph to help them make the connection that the graph has to do with telling time. After everyone has contributed, discuss the graph. Which time do more children bathe? What do a.m./p.m. mean (morning and evening will do)? As a group, using one class clock or use individual clocks, do some ?CLOCK TALK? aloud. Show each hour on the clock and say, ?It is 12 o?clock a.m. It is one o?clock a.m.,? etc. all the way around the a.m. hours on the clock. Start the p.m. hours and teach that we start over at 12 o?clock and do all the hours again for p.m. Read a book about morning and/or night. See suggestions in topical bibliography. What Time Do You Bathe? 5↑ 4 3 2 1 I take my bath in the a.m. (morning) I take my bath in the p.m. (evening) Sorting for morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Place four pieces of construction paper on the floor or table with a container or basket by each. The construction papers will read, ?Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night?. Place cards on the table that read, ?6:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., etc. Students will choose one of the cards, and place it on the correct sheet of construction paper. Repeat the same type of discussions and literature from 1c and 1d, above. Make clocks from hula-hoops. Make two hula-hoops into clocks by placing masking tape markers where the numbers belong. Minute and hour hands could be made from poster paper. Place cards on the table that show the hours from 1-12. Put balls of tape on the backs of the cards. Sit a large Judy Clock, etc. on the table for students to use for problem solving. c. As children enter, they pick a time card and tape it on the hula-hoop clock in the correct place.

About me Contact me Site map Kindergarten Number Activities Number pages: 1 2 3 Include lots of time for children to play and explore sets of numbers when planning kindergarten number activities. Although children may be able to count to 5, they may not know what "5" means. Students need to have many experiences playing with five objects to build up an intuitive understanding of the number five. The term,"operations", refers to what you can do with the numbers - add them, subtract them, divide them, etc. "Number sense" means that the child has an intuitive understanding of numbers. Some children enter kindergarten with an excellent number sense to the number 5. Another student's number sense is at a higher or lower level. As an adult, I can visualize five dots on a dice, sets of five in groups to make 100 or combinations of numbers to equal five. Children have to "play" with objects and participate in structured kindergarten number activities to be able to do this. Some adults who struggle with math were not given enough opportunities or time as children to explore math with objects. Not all children who come to kindergarten counting to 5 or 10 or more have a good understanding of what the numbers mean. They are also unsure of how to sequence sets of numbers. Don't get to eager to have your students filling in worksheets. Review the steps in "Teaching with manipulatives" and give the kids enough time to participate in kindergarten number activities with real things. Repeated building of sets of the same number benefits the students. So how do we teach kindergarten number activities? Use math materials for all activities Encourage the students to talk about what they are doing Model excitement as you demonstrate the activities Make a big deal of their thinking - Wow, how did you do that? Use your imagination to create activities- what do you have in the classroom? TEACHER TIPS Using mats defines each child's space. Even though you can have a mountain of pattern blocks or other materials in the middle of the carpet, some children will not relax and learn until they have their own pile. Don't fight it, give them a pile. Demonstrate all games and kindergarten number activities slowly. Children are easily distracted and may not notice that you touch each item when you count. Model the behaviors you want the children to imitate and they soon will.

About me Contact me Site map Kindergarten Sorting Games Sorting pages: 1 2 There are many simple kindergarten sorting games and activities. Students benefit from having lots of experiences sorting, comparing and classifying objects before participating in patterning activities. In this picture a child has sorted stamps. Stamps with animal pictures are on one side and stamps without animal pictures are on the other. It is easy to create simple kindergarten sorting games using everyday items. Provide opportunities for children to sort or group things by shape, number, color or texture. As children play kindergarten sorting games, vocabulary such as classifying, groups, sets, categories, same, different, fewer, longer, heavier, lighter can be introduced. On this page, read to find out: What sorting skills do children need to know? Math games to develop sorting and classifying skills Teaching children to classify by different criteria Sorting Skills: What Do Children Need to Know? When playing kindergarten sorting games, take into consideration that the students are working towards: knowing what is meant by the terms, "sort" or "categorize" sorting the same objects in many different ways - e.g. using buttons again - sort by size, then by color, then by number of holes, then by shiny or dull, etc. Kindergarten Math - Sorting Games "What am I Thinking?" The purpose of this kindergarten sorting game is to help children focus on one sorting characteristic. Materials: 2 pieces of card about 8.5" by 11" Similar items that can be sorted in many ways. e.g. old keys or buttons or plastic toy animals (choose one set) How to Play: Put one piece of card beside the other with a space between them. Pick up a gold key from the pile. Say, "This key can go on this paper."Choose a silver colored key and say, "This key can't" and put it on the other paper. Sort a few more keys, verbalizing, "this key can.. this key can't...", then ask, "What am I thinking?" Children try and guess the sorting rule. In this case I am sorting by color, gold keys are on one piece of card, keys that are not gold are placed on the other piece of card. When the children get the idea, choose more difficult sorting rules. e.g. keys with round holes go on one paper, keys without round holes do not; keys with words stamped on them go on one paper, keys without words go on the other; small keys go on one side, keys that are not small go on the other side. This kindergarten sorting game can be repeated with numerous objects. Buttons are inexpensive and have many different characteristics that can 203 text/html 2008-09-22T12:37:12+00:00 Kindergarten sorting games to help children understand that objects can be categorized by shape, number, color or texture. ...

In most of the assessments that states use to determine student and school success, a student must demonstrate math reasoning abilities through writing. This skill is not automatic, though. It develops through a recursive process: Vocabulary & Language <—> Reasoning <—> Talk <—> Writing Beginning with vocabulary and language, a student learns to reason, then to communicate those thoughts verbally, and finally to write. Each of the levels feeds back to the previous one, reinforcing and further developing it. Thus if we’re going to teach reasoning skills effectively, it follows we need to carefully consider the vocabulary we use. It isn’t uncommon, especially in the primary grades, for teachers to simplify the language we use with children to explain complex concepts. Although this is useful, it can also lead to sloppy language if we aren’t careful. It is particularly important that we don’t permit students to use precise math terms improperly and that we teach the “real” terms as quickly as possible. Even if students don’t use them right away, they should be hearing the correct terminology in context from the beginning. Here are a few examples of sloppy math language that I often hear from older students. If these go uncorrected, students will have a very difficult time communicating well when they need to explain their thought process–a skill that is essential to upper level math. Instead of these… Use these… take-away minus “plussed” added “minused” subtracted “timesed” multiplied answer sum, difference, product, quotient amount length, height, volume, number, etc. number digit, addend, factor, dividend, etc. bigger, smaller greater than, less than I believe it’s essential to require students to be precise when they communicate. Often when students don’t use the correct term, or use a valid term improperly, it is a sign they just don’t have the right words. I’ve heard teachers argue that young children just aren’t capable of such sophisticated language yet. My father, a retired professor of speech/language pathology, has often said, however, that if second graders can learn and correctly use terms like “Tyrannosaurus Rex” and “Diplodocus”, why on earth can’t we teach them to say “subtracted” instead of “minused”? Vocabulary instruction should be as much an integral part of mathematics as it is of reading, writing, and other content areas. Tomorrow I will tackle a more challenging vocabulary-related issue in mathematics: verbal and written explanations of a student’s cognitive process.
