Make it Equal {freebie}

February 22, 2014 by ·

This past Monday, we had a faculty meeting where we got to see what our first graders are tested on in math in October. To say I (and by I…I mean all of the Kindergarten teachers) was shocked is an understatement. A lot of our kinders (and I’m sure yours too) come in barely knowing […]

Shapes All Around

February 19, 2014 by ·

This is something that I have been doing with my kiddos since I started teaching. I really enjoy teaching about shapes because it’s concrete and there is  just so much you can do with 2-D and 3-D shapes. There are also some great resources. A book that I always read to kick off 3-D shapes […]

Subtraction Freebie

February 13, 2014 by ·

Addition Boot Camp

January 16, 2014 by ·

We got back from break and it was like addition was a foreign language. Last week, we had a bit of an intervention. I have been using these for the past couple of years. Please excuse the marks all over them because they have had a bit of love. This is the addition side.  It’s […]

Wednesday Word Problems Updated

September 28, 2013 by ·

One of the most important things I do in my classroom is Wednesday Word Problems. The students have a love/hate relationship with these. They love them because if they get the answer correct and can show me HOW they got their answer, then they get an entire Smartie (And no they don’t get one if […]

Engaging Math Lessons!

January 23, 2013 by ·

What!?! Yep…I’ve done it TWO days in a row. Pat on the back for me! I kept reading about all of these “snowball fights” and it sounded like such a fun idea but I put my own twist on it.  For the CC standard for Kindergarten “Compose numbers with 10 and some ones…” Here’s the […]
