Hi guys! Happy Friday! Apart from feeling a little crummy at the beginning of the week (fever & cold carrying over from last week..) I had such a great week with the kids this week! Here are some of the highlights! 1. COMPOSING NUMBERS + ADDITION We wrapped up composing numbers and started addition this week. Here is one of our new centres, addition with unifix cubes! For example (for the card at the bottom right corner) the kids would grab 1 blue unifix cube and 3 purple unifix cubes and snap them together. Then they count them to get the answer. I laminated the strips so that they could write the answers with dry erase markers. This little gal chose to use these hand manipulatives to show her answer (the question was 1+1=)! I have added these addition cards to my addition pack on TPT. If you already own it, you can redownload it and get the new pages for free! Here is our current composing numbers and addition math board! We also made these hand prints to reinforce skip counting by 10. I love how they turned out! One day, I had students roll a home made dice (I put dots and numbers 1-4 on a wooden cube with a flair pen) and a regular dice, compose the two numbers they rolled on a ten-frame with snap cubes and record it on this recording sheet with bingo dabbers: We also reviewed some problem solving! I loved these questions because I could easily differentiate the numbers for each student based on their ability and the kids loved it because they got to pick the names of the people in their word problem! If they choose a strategy other than "draw a picture" I took a photo of their strategy and added it to their work. You can grab both composing printables for free by clicking on the image below: 2. PATTERNING WITH ALPHABET BEADS I found these adorable alphabet beads at Michaels and picked them up since I had a 40% off coupon. I set them out with pipe cleaners and this pattern mat to encourage naming the core and writing! Our kids need lots of practice with patterning and they seem to enjoy this invitation to pattern! You can grab the pattern mat for free by clicking on the image below: 3. SIGHT WORD READ, CLIP & SPELL I made this centre quickly one morning and it has been a surprising hit! It's super easy to differentiate for your class (just use the sight words that your kids need more practice with) and for the kiddos who are not yet working with sight words they can practice reading the letters and clipping them in the right order! 4. I CAN WRITE TO 100 My kids love writing numbers but I felt like they needed a challenge so I made up these "I Can Write to 100" dry-erase sheets! I also printed and laminated 2 hundreds charts and stuck it on our math wall so that the kids could use it as a reference. I printed the "I Can Write to 100" sheets double-sided, one side with the tracing lines and one side without. They have loved these and so many of them are having fun working with bigger numbers! You can grab these for free as well by clicking on the image below: 5. SIGHT WORD FORMATION CARDS WITH SIMPLE SENTENCES I wanted sight word cards that had formation arrows and a simple sentence so that they could be used at many different types of centres. I use them for the salt tray centre, add them to the whiteboard centre or put them out with keyboards (I got these at Dollarama a few years ago!). When I set it out with the keyboards I encourage the students to type the sight word and then for an extra challenge to type the sentence underneath. My kids like anything remotely technology related, so this centre was a hit! I had a request to make these with no formation arrows so now the pack has words with formation arrows and writing lines, words with writing lines (no formation arrows) and words with no lines or formation arrows! I hope now they will meet everyone's needs! You can grab these cards by clicking here or on the image below: Phew! I feel like that was a long post! I hope you were able to grab some ideas that you can use in your classroom! Have a great weekend! - Yukari You can read more Five for Friday posts by clicking on the image below ;) SaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSave

Are you learning shapes? This fun, hands-on shape activity uses popsicle sticks and shape printables with learning shapes for preschoolers.

During September I visited Louesa Byrne's K/1 classroom at Thompson and Lauren MacLean's K/1 classroom at Blair. Over several visits we created mathematical provocations for the students to engage with mathematics and allow the teachers an opportunity to assess what their students were able to do in the area of patterning and general number sense. Can you stack 5 rocks? Mathematical Intention: one-to-one correspondence, counting, decomposing 5 into parts What different patterns can you make? Mathematical Intention: creating repeating patterns using 2-5 elements What is a pattern? Mathematical Intention: thinking about patterns in the environment, thinking about repeating, growing patterns, circular, framing patterns, grid patterns What can you find out about numbers? Mathematical Intention: one-to-one correspondence, counting, making ten, recognizing quantity arrangements, relate numerals to quantity, represent and describe numbers How many ways can you make 7? Mathematical Intention: parts-whole relationships, decomposing 7 into parts, one-to-one correspondence, counting, combining parts, adding Things we noticed: Students, for the most part, were fascinated with the simple materials and open-ness and stayed engaged for long periods of time. We found leaving little clipboards with paper on the tables invited students to record and represent their work. By adding a new element to a provocation, students became re-engaged and discovered new ways to work with the materials (ie. adding dice or calculators). These table tasks create opportunities for teachers to spend time with individual students and talk to them about what they were doing, assessing their mathematical understanding as appropriate. ~Janice

Are you interested in using rekenreks with your students, but you’re not sure how? A few years ago, I was in the same boat. I had been to a math training that used rekereks and I couldn’t wait to use them in my classroom. I made a class set out of cardboard and proudly brought them to school. Except I had no idea what to do with them! I had learned a game or two, but needed guidance with how to teach my students about them. In this post, I’ll show

We have Math Pack 19 ready to print and enrich the learning of your little ones. This pack of activities and worksheets will make learning about the relative position of numbers 0-15 so much fun. The 5 included math activities can be used in centers, activity rotations, workshops or for review. This bundle will help students learning to: identify one more or one less with concrete materials identify one more or less in picture representations act out a forward and backward jump on a number track identify one immediately more or less of a specific number in the range 0-15 write numerals 0-15 Each of the 5 small-group activities has: detailed instructions playing cards/boards/templates a worksheet (either a recording worksheet or a fun-follow-up) a cover page to help you organize your resources for future reference The activities included in this bundle are: Make a Group Students will make a group of counters/chips that is one more or less than a given group. Make a Train Students will make a cube 'train' that shows one more of less than a picture and record the numerals. Jump Students will make forward and backward jumps on a number track of 1, 2 and 3 and determine the new landing position. Next and Before to 15 Students will locate and position numbers immediately before AND immediately after a given number, randomly in the range 0-15. Numberpillar to 15 Students will sequence and write 3 number sequences from various starting points in the range 0-15. These activities can be used in a structured game rotation program, as math centers or in guided math. Once taught, they also make fantastic 'fast-finisher' activities for revision of key concepts. Hop over to our TpT store to find this new pack. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog to learn more about our learning printables.
