Math Workshop

This year, Kindergarten mathematicians will learn...

  • Use manipulatives/tools to solve problems

  • Build a STRONG Number Sense foundation (dice patterns, card patterns)

  • Decomposing numbers/composing within 5, 10 and 20. to recognize numbers 1-20

  • count to 100

  • notice number patterns to 100

  • write numbers (In the correct handwriting formation)

  • add and subtract within 5, 10 and 20.

  • Play games, and work cooperatively!

Print these cards! Play War, Go Fish, Etc!

You will need

2 dice and 20 counters (10 for each player of a different color, or different coins)

Roll 2 dice, and record the number. First number to the top wins!

You can use coins at home.

  • Put 4-10 pennies in a cup.

  • (However many you decide, write that number next to the Total Number!)

  • Spill them, and sort them by heads and tails.

  • Write how many landed on heads and how many landed on tails.

  • REPEAT. As the game goes on, talk about what you are noticing. There is always going to be the total number, and you are coming up with different combinations.

Use a deck of cards, or the printable cards above!

This is a 2+ player game

You will need

-Deck of cards, or printable cards above

-6 counters for each player (cheerios, coins, cheeze-its, ect)
