Concept Game: Math Space "Odessy"

Image
  Personal Objective :  This game is created for first and second grade students to strengthen their problem solving skills. Students will engage by rolling the die, choosing a card, and adding the two numbers together to get any sum (no higher than 10). This game experience allows up to four players at a time and each player is color coordinated.  Common Core Standard(s): CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A1-  Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.O.B.3- Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2- Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.  By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. Mathematical Practice Standards MP6. Attend to precision MP8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Materials & Preparation Math Space "Odessy" Game Board Dice Game Instructions: Select a game piece  . Roll the di

Measure Up!

  Personal Objective :  This lesson is created to teach Pre-kindergarten/Kindergarten students to understand measurement. Measurement is all about comparisons. Therefore students will engage in an activity where they will learn to look and two pictures and decipher between bigger, longer, shorter, more, and less.  Common Core Standard: PK.MATH.10. [NY-PK.MD.1.] Identifies measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight, and describes them using appropriate vocabulary (e.g., small, big, short, tall, empty, full, heavy, light)  Mathematical Practice Standards MP4. Model with Mathematics MP5. Use appropriate tools strategically Materials & Preparation Dry Erase Board/Marker Measure Up Worksheet Pencil Activity: 1. I will stand in the front of the classroom and using a dry erase board and marker I will draw on pictures that detail ("longer" or "shorter," "more" or "less" etc.).  2. Next, I will share with students that today we will be

Roll and Color

    Personal Objective :  This lesson is created to teach Prekindergarten/Kindergarten students to enhance their number recognition and counting skills. Students will practice this by rolling the die (or dice) and coloring in the correct number. Common Core Standard(s): PK.MATH.1. [NY-PK.CC.1.] Counts to 20 PK.MATH.3. [NY-PK.CC.3.] Understands the relationship between numbers and quantities to 10, connects counting to cardinality PK. MATH.3b. [NY-PK.CC.3b.] & K. MATH.6. [NY-K.CC.4b.] Explores and develops the concept that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted, (cardinality). The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted Mathematical Practice Standards MP4. Model with Mathematics MP5.

Addition: How Many?

Image
  Personal Objective :  This lesson is created to teach Prekindergarten/Kindergarten students how to add. Students will learn to familiarize themselves with what the plus sign (+) and equal sign (=) looks like. They will also exercise their counting and number recognition skills in order to find the sum.  Students will engage both as a class and independently by completing a worksheet. Common Core Standard(s): PK.MATH.3. [NY-PK.CC.3.] Understands the relationship between numbers and quantities to 10, connects counting to cardinality PK. MATH.3b. [NY-PK.CC.3b.] & K. MATH.6. [NY-K.CC.4b.] Explores and develops the concept that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted, (cardinality). The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted PK.MATH.8. [NY-PK.OA.1.] Explores addition and subtraction by using objects, fingers, and responding to real world situations (e.g., if we have 3 apples and add 2 more, how many a

Count/Write Consecutively

  Personal Objective :  This lesson is created to teach Prekindergarten students to identify and write numbers consecutively. Students will engage in a "What Comes Next?" worksheet activity using necessary materials to demonstrate their understanding of counting in order and writing numbers correctly.  Common Core Standard: PK.MATH.1. [NY-PK.CC.1.] Counts to 20 PK.MATH.3. [NY-PK.CC.3.] Understands the relationship between numbers and quantities to 10, connects counting to cardinality  Mathematical Practice Standards MP4.

I will stand in the front of the classroom next to the dry erase board. I will explain to students that today we will be learning "What Comes Next?" I will ask students "What will we be learning?" they will repeat back to me "What Comes Next?" 2. Using a dry eras

Number Match

Image
  Personal Objective: This lesson is created to teach Prekindergarten students to exercise their ability to practice number recognition and counting. This skill will teach students the concept of counting consecutively as well as how to match numbers appropriately.  Students will engage in a number matching activity using necessary materials to demonstrate their understanding of number sense.  Common Core Standard: PK.MATH.3. [NY-PK.CC.3.] Understands the relationship between numbers and quantities to 10, connects counting to cardinality PK.MATH.3a. [NY-PK.CC.3a.] When counting objects, says the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. (1:1 correspondence) PK.MATH.4b. [NY-PK.CC.4b] Given a number from 1-10, counts out that many objects    Mathematical Practice Standards MP4. Model with Mathematics MP5.

Personal Objective: Patterns are everywhere! Upon knowing this, I created this lesson to teach Prekindergarten/Kindergarten students to exercise their ability to create "AB" patterns. Understanding patterns will help students to prepare for learning complex number concepts and mathematical operations. Common Core Standard(s): PK.MATH.1. [NY-PK.CC.1.] Counts to 20 PK.MATH.9. [NY-PK.OA.2.] Duplicates and extends simple patterns using concrete objects (e.g., what comes next?)   Mathematical Practice Standards:  MP7. Look for and make use of structure  MP8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.  Materials & Preparation October Calendar and Dates Unifix Cubes  Activity:  1. I will stand in the front of the classroom next to the Calendar. I will explain to students (as I do each day) that today we will complete our Calendar, to find out? *Students will say* 'Today's Date." 2. In order to complete our calendar, we will review what month is it (Octob
