Before I taught Kindergarten I taught preschool. I think having that experience made me a better Kindergarten teacher, as I was able to appreciate all of the playful learning that happens before children start school. My son is of preschool age, but home with me, so I thought I would write about our homeschool preschool
Multiplication made fun! Ideas, strategies, and anchor charts to help you teach multiplication!
I have always loved interactive notebooks (INB). It makes sense I guess, I was a scrapbooker long before I started teaching. INBs are basically a combination of two of the things I love, scrapbooking and learning. I started using INBs my first year in the classroom and I have used them every year since. I

Welcome back to the "Playful Maths" series brought to you by Learn with Play at home (us) and The Imagination Tree Together, let's make MATHS FUN! ............................................................................................................ Last week I shared a Playdough Flower Mat. This weeks Playful Maths Activities also uses the sensory material Play dough (playdoh). In this activity we are focusing on length, measurement and patterns. Other skills involved include fine motor, comparing and ordering. Ages: 2+ (Maddie is currently 4) (See the Handy Tips at the bottom to simplify or extend to meet your child's needs) Materials: Playdough, assorted googly eyes (optional*), assorted sequins (optional*) (*you can use your own alternatives for these. ie you could poke the eyes in, use pebbles for eyes, decorate with buttons, natural materials..etc.etc) "Let's make snakes" was the only thing I said before Maddie was off and rolling! She leapt into this activity so quickly that there was barely time to snap what she was doing. She loved choosing from the range of different sized eyes. (She decided upon "medium" sized eyes for her "medium" sized snake) As soon as one snake was made it was onto the next. This time a "baby snake" The baby snake was very tiny and much smaller compared to the first snake. I challenged her: "Can you make another snake the same length as the first snake?" Comparing the lengths she discovered her snake was shorter than the first snake. She knew it had to be longer so she added extra playdough But then it was too long so she promptly chopped the tail to make them the same length. "I'm making a GIGANTIC snake now" It wasn't easy to roll out something so long without breaking it. It was also a challenge to keep the thickness the same. She decided this one would be the same length as the table. And of course it got the biggest eyes. We compared the length of the giant snake to the other snakes she'd made and were thrilled to discover that it was the same length as 2 medium snakes and 2 small snakes. We then ordered the snakes from smallest to largest or shortest to longest. Maddie made a few more snakes and slotted them in between the other snakes according to it's length. She decided she'd made enough snakes and then moved them into a pattern on the table. She was incredibly keen to decorate the snakes. I didn't specifically request patterning but we were able to practice some of that too. We used a variety of different coloured, shaped sequins which we reuse a lot of the time. She started decorating the "baby snakes" while I started a repetitive pattern on the "grandma snake" There was a lot of dialogue that went on during our play. Explanations of why each snake was patterned in a certain way, their names, where they fit in the "snake family" and so on. Sequins are especially good for practicing pincer grip (as are the googly eyes!) and working those fine-motor skills. They can be tricky though. She discovered my pattern and wanted to complete it. She then did her own repetitive pattern using 4 different elements that I was really impressed with. (It's the silver leaf, silver heart, gold moon, gold star pattern on the snake with the yellow eyes. Not bad for a 4 year old) :) Our snake family. Yes, this was maths. We had a ball! Handy Tips - Simplify this activity by assisting your child to roll out a couple of snakes and talk about one being longer than the other. Try adding another snake in to make one large, medium and small snake. - Extend this activity by: Using informal units to measure the snakes (ie. the biggest snake is 10 hands long) Using formal measurement to find the lengths (ie. a tape measure) Using the snakes to measure things around the house/classroom (the sofa is 3 snakes long) Writing about the different snakes and their lengths Making up a narrative and then performing it with the snakes as characters - Mix it up with different coloured playdough and other decorative materials such as beads, buttons, pebbles etc. - Change the activity by making snakes from stockings filled with scrunched paper to use for measurement. You could make it exactly 1 metre long and take it around for measuring fun. - Use the mathematical language that goes naturally with this activity, such as, "length," "measure," "big," "small," "long," short," "medium," "pattern," etc - We used our no-cook playdough recipe to make the playdough used in this activity. - Did you see our Playful Maths with Natural Materials? Turns out they were very popular so if you haven't seen them, click the pictures below to check them out. You can see the rest of our Playful Maths here. So far we've covered a range of easily accessible materials, many of which were recycled or came from nature. Don't forget to join us next week where we're bringing you more Playful Maths activities.

Lieben Sie es, Selfies zu machen? Ist Ihnen schon häufiger aufgefallen, dass Sie am liebsten nur von sich erzählen? Dann fragen Sie sich vielleicht, ob Sie ein Narzisst sind. Doch was genau ist Narzissmus? Kaum ein Begriff aus der Psychologie wird häufiger bei Google gesucht als Narzissmus. Dabei stellen wir gerne unserem Gegenüber die Diagnose, während wir sie für uns selbst weit von uns weisen – und uns insgeheim doch fragen, ob wir nicht selbst an dieser Krankheit leiden. Oder wir fragen uns, warum wir in unserem Leben immer wieder an Narzissten geraten, und wie wir uns gegen sie durchsetzen könnten. Der klinische Psychologe Dr. Craig Malkin zeigt in »Der Narzissten-Test« wissenschaftlich fundiert und verständlich, dass Narzissmus nur selten eine Krankheit ist, sondern dass wir uns alle in einem Spektrum bewegen, das von völliger Selbstlosigkeit bis zu extremem Grössenwahn reichen kann. Dabei wird deutlich, dass wir narzisstische Anteile brauchen, um unser Selbstwertgefühl stabil zu halten. Ob man über einen gesunden Narzissmus verfügt oder im ungesunden Bereich des Spektrums angesiedelt ist, kann man anhand eines umfangreichen Tests erfahren. Zudem gibt Dr. Malkin dem Leser einen Leitfaden an die Hand, wie man sich selbst ebenso wie Lebenspartner, Vorgesetzte oder Freunde fördern bzw. bremsen kann. »Ein wahres Juwel unter den Büchern zum Thema Narzissmus« LIBRARY JOURNAL
*If you want to see what I did for 2D Shapes in 2015 click here!* Week 3 and 4 was all about 2D shapes in math! I like starting with 2D shapes because it is something that most of the kids already know and feel successful about. Here is the plan I made to keep me on track. Click on the picture to download a copy! We started by introducing the vocabulary 2D shapes, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, sides and vertices. On the first day we did the first 2 columns of this anchor chart. I made up and used this diagnostic checklist so that I knew how much the kids already knew about shapes. Click on either picture to download the freebie! On the second day we watched "The Very Greedy Triangle" by Marilyn Burns on YouTube. Then we talked about and recorded where we see shapes around us in the examples column. Here are all of the videos that we watched during our 8-day unit. The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns Shapes Song by Kids TV SHAPES by Pancake Manor The Shapes Song by KidsTV123 On the third day I introduced some more shapes with these mini shape posters by The First Grade Parade and then taped them on our cabinets so the students can use them as a resource. You can find them here. The kids used them as a reference to spell the names of the shapes all week long! Next we worked on comparing and sorting shapes. And then did some problem solving questions to challenge my high achievers. This one is Tanya's shape mentioned in Day 8. Use a name of a student in your class where it is blurred! This one was a tricky lesson but my high achievers liked the challenge! We didn't end up doing the sorting quadrilaterals lesson this year (mentioned in Day 6) but what you do is gather shapes that are half quadrilaterals (have a variety like rhombus, trapezoid, square etc.) and not quadrilateral. Get students to sit in a circle and pass out a shape to each student. Put the hoola hoop in the middle. Tell students you are going to make up a sorting rule in your head and they need to guess the sorting rule at the end. Then ask students one by one to put their shape outside or inside the hoola hoop. The first few will just have to guess where their shape goes. If they get it right I say "That matches my sorting rule, you can keep your shape there". If it doesn't I say "Sorry, that doesn't match my sorting rule, please move your shape inside/outside the hoola hoop". At the end students guess the sorting rule. If you have a big class you can get them to guess half way and then make up a new sorting rule for the rest so the ones who have figured the rule out early won't be sitting there bored ;) We displayed our learning on our bulletin board/wall in the hallway. Here are the learning goals and success criterias I posted with our work: And some close-ups of the "shape pictures" that I put up under "show". My ECE sat with the students and coached them on how to draw the shapes and label their pictures. She had the shape manipulatives out so they could copy the shapes they wanted. They turned out so cute and I was surprised how well they could draw already! This activity was open during centre time. The students searched in calendars to find real life shapes, cut them out and glued them on to the corresponding giant shapes made from construction paper. Here are just some of the centres that were open during our 2D shape unit: Sorting tangrams by shape. You can find these mats by clicking here or on the picture below. Making shapes on geoboards. The example pages are from "Geoboard It! A Fun Math and Geometry Station" by First Grade Blue Skies. At "Shake a Shape" there are shapes hot glued on to the inside of the egg carton. A pom pom is placed inside and the student shakes the carton, open it up and traces the shape the pom pom landed on. This activity can be found in "Backpack Boogie" by Growing Kinders. My kids LOVE playdough! These shape mats are a freebie from Miss Kindergarten. On a different day my ECE put out tangrams and asked them to find out how many tangram squares fit in a square, how many tangram triangles fit in the triangle etc. We also used these shape puzzles... and I finally got some insertable dice so we played this game called "Schoolhouse Shapes" from "The Bus Stops Here" pack by The First Grade Parade. The students roll the dice and cover the shape they roll. The first person to cover their whole mat is the winner! I also put these two games on the SMARTBoard for the kids to play. You can find them both at abcya.com. Click on K then scroll down to "more". If you made it this far, thank you for reading! I wish I could share all of the wonderful centres my ECE thought of and put out but I didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything. I hope that you find something useful that you can implement in your own classroom in this post! What is your favourite activity/centre for 2D shapes? Please leave me a comment and let me know! I am always looking for new ideas!
