Patterning
We have been busy creating patterns in our Kindergarten classroom! We are creating AB, AABB, ABC, AAB and ABB patterns. The students have been using a variety of hands on manipulatives, body actions, the Smart board, markers and paper.

Math Centres & Games
Children need lots of practice using numbers in situations where they can be successful and have fun. As they play games and participate in meaningful counting activities, they develop concepts about counting that provide the foundation for the future mathematics learning. (Pearson Education Canada 2007) Below you will find pictures of the different math games that the students are currently learning to play.
NumberSay the number sequence by 1s, starting anywhere from 1 to 30 and from 10 to 1.
Relate a numeral, 1 to 10, to its respective quantity. Demonstrate an understanding of counting to 10 by indicating that the last number said identifies “how many" and by showing that any set has only one count. Subitize and name familiar arrangements of 1 to 6 dots (or objects). Represent and describe numbers 2 to 10 in two parts, concretely and pictorially. Compare quantities, 1 to 10, using one-to-one correspondence and by ordering numbers representing different quantities. Patterns & RelationsDemonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (two or three elements) by identifying, reproducing, extending, creating patterns using manipulatives, sounds, and actions.
Shape & SpaceUse direct comparison to compare two objects based on a single attribute, such as length (height), mass (weight), and volume (capacity).
Sort 3-D objects using a single attribute. Build and describe 3-D objects. |
