Teacher Tips:

• It is not necessary for students to write expressions to show mastery at this point.

• Mastery of operations in Kindergarten can be demonstrated using various methods i.e. fingers, manipulatives, drawings and verbal explanations.

• Students’ thinking should move from concrete (using manipulatives) to pictorial (drawing pictures) to abstract (written equations) by the end of year.

• Don't forget to check resources in the Fluency tab

Essential Question #9 Pretest

Essential Learning Outcomes (ELO)

∎Students will work to make the connection between the (verbal) number names and quantities. (K.CC.A 1, 2 & 3, MP2, MP6, MP8)

∎Students will attend to precision in both their explanations and particular strategies they use to count. (K.CC.B 4 & 5, MP2, MP6)

∎Students will connect concrete representation of numbers to the written numerals. (K.CC.C 6 & 7, MP2)

∎Students will understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from by modeling with manipulatives. (K.OA.A 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5, MP4, MP5) 

∎Students will use a bundle of ten and some more ones using various strategies-such as ten-frames- to model and explain the “teen” numbers. (K.NBT.A.1, MP4, MP7) 

Learning targets

• I can count to 100 by ones and tens starting at 1. (K.CC.A.1)

• I can count forward beginning with another number other than 1. (K.CC.A.2)

• I can write numbers 0 to 20 (K.CC.A.3)

• I can match each object with a number when counting. (K.CC.B.4a)

• I can tell how many objects are in a group. (K.CC.B.4b)

• I can tell the number that is one more. (K.CC.B.4c)

• I can count up to 20 objects that are arranged differently. (K.CC.B.5)

• I can count objects to match numbers from 1 to 20. (K.CC.B.5)

• I can tell if a group of objects is greater than, less than or equal to another group. (K.CC.C.6)

• I can tell if a numeral is greater than, less than, or equal to another number. (K.CC.C.7)

• I can show that adding is putting groups together and subtraction is taking apart or taking away. (K.OA.A.1)

• I can use objects, fingers and pictures to help me show addition and subtraction. (K.OA.A.1)

• I can identify the symbols for plus, minus and equal.(K.OA.A.1)

• I can understand the concept of putting together means to add and taking apart means to subtract. (K.OA.A.2)

• I can solve addition and subtraction word problems. (K.OA.A.2)

• I can find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number between 1-9. (K.OA.A.4)

• I can add and subtract within 5. (K.OA.A.5)

• I can make a number using a group of ten and ones. (K.NBT.A.1)

Addition & Subtraction Strategies within 10

Choose which strategy students need to practice.  You may find that they need many, so start with one for a week or so, then move onto another.  You are looking for efficient strategies, not mastery of all strategies.  Students may find they prefer one strategy over another or change strategies for different problems.  The goal is that they are flexibly using efficient strategies and are able to reason about numbers to fluently compute.

Addition Strategies

Subitize  Teen numbers

Count on  Math flips w/in 10 

Make Ten  Ten frames

Subtraction Strategies

Count on/think addition math flips within 10

Word problems are difficult for many students.  The goal is to support students engaging in the context of the problem and going beyond looking for key words and numbers.  Here is a resource that will support applying close reading with math:   Numberless Word Problems                Addition & Subtraction problem types

“Closure in a lesson does not mean to pack up and move on. Rather, it is a cognitive activity that helps students focus on what was learned and whether it made sense and had meaning.” How the Brain Learns Mathematics (2007) P. 104

There are many ways to wrap up and reflect the day's activities but this step is often overlooked or rushed.  Purposely plan and allow time for students to have closure each day (even if it means setting a timer or daily alarm so you don't run out of time).
