Unit 6: Three-Dimensional Shapes & Numbers Beyond Ten

PAR-BR0-U6.pdf

Home Connections Support and Resources:

This unit emphasizes the two critical areas for kindergarten mathematics identified by the Common Core State Standards: number and geometry.

To start the unit, students describe the attributes, similarities, and differences among two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. These early sessions also include activities in which students count and make combinations to 5.

Later in the unit, students count forward and backward, read and write numerals to 20, and explore combinations to numbers from 5 to 10, with special emphasis on the 5+ and 10+ combinations.

Three-Dimensional Shapes

Below you will find resources to help identify and describe 3-D shapes.

Combinations to 10 and More

Below you will find resources for support with combinations to ten and more.

Play "Tens Go Fish" with a deck of playing cards

Pass out 7 cards to each player. Put the other cards in a pile (pond). Players try to find two numbers that make 10. Player 1 asks Player 2 for a card needed to make 10. If he/she does not have one, Player 1 will “go fish” and pull a card from the pond. Any matches of 10 are set aside. First player to match all his/her cards is the winner.

Practicing Teen Numbers (Practice teen numbers and "seeing" them on Tens Frame.)
Counting Sticks (Practice counting the groups of ten and more to tell how many sticks.)
