Kindergarten Math

Announcing New Math Unit: Measurement At Home!

We will be trying out a new weekly Math Schedule (see image below) as we jump into a big unit on measurement for the next month while we are learning from home.

**This is optional - you may choose to keep playing dice games and doing the hands-on project extensions at the bottom of this page instead. We will also be sharing Splashmath (online learning app) log-ins with you this week.**

To streamline this project:

Every week, we will upload worksheets/activities for this unit. They are all labeled with specific dates and linked in the big Assignment document below and on this page. You can skip days or move them around so that it works for you.
You can watch our pre-recorded videos introducing new math content and Brainpop video links each Tuesday and Thursday, or you can just use the worksheets and activities by themselves.
We are trying to provide new content for those that want it, and also really don’t want this to be stressful. We hope that measurement is a fun hands-on topic.

*We will continue using our Kindergarten Math Padlet so that we can share math work with each other. Instructions for access are copied below.

How to Use Padlet

Padlets are like virtual bulletin boards. We will use Padlet to share out student work in the coming weeks. You can upload photos, videos, and blurbs about your engineering projects. Each engineering project will have its own padlet, and many of your other classes will have their own padlets.

To add to a padlet:

Click on the link for that specific project OR Click on the little "POP OUT" window on the upper right of the padlet image for that project
Once padlet opens, click on the PINK PLUS sign in the lower right hand corner and add your comment. Please put your NAME as the title so we can see who is posting. You can add photos/video links and more.
Read other people's posts and add comments if you want!
