Parents and Caretakers:
Your child's classroom teacher has provided your child with fun math choice boards for this round of instruction on the K and 1 web pages! There are many different choices that allow students to practice math skills that are part of the world around them.
The web page I've created is to provide extra information to assist parents while working with their child on math. You'll see videos and documents about the most current math instructional practices your child may have been experiencing in the classroom.
This page is meant to be used as a place to go to when looking for other math activities (optional) that would support your child's math skills during this time. Including printables if you choose. Browse through the whole page and check them out!
Don't hesitate to give me a call or email if I can be of help in anyway.

Counting objects to tell how many there are
Comparing two groups of objects to tell which group, if either, has more; comparing two written numbers to tell which is greater
Acting out addition and subtraction word problems and drawing diagrams to represent them
Adding with a sum of 10 or less; subtracting from a number 10 or less; and solving addition and subtraction word problems
Adding and subtracting very small numbers quickly and accurately (e.g., 3 + 1)
Correctly naming shapes regardless of orientation or size (e.g., a square oriented as a “diamond” is still a square)
Try these ideas:
Look for “word problems” in real life. Some kindergarten examples might include:
Play “Write the next number.” You write a number, and your child writes the next number.
Ask your child questions that require counting as many as 20 things. For example, ask, “How many books do you have about wild animals?”
Ask your child questions that require comparing numbers. “Who is wearing more bracelets, you or your sister?” (Your child might use matching or counting to find the answer.
Solving addition and subtraction word problems in situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing (e.g., a taking from situation would be: “Five apples were on the table. I ate some apples. Then there were three apples. How many apples did I eat?”)
Adding with a sum of 20 or less, and subtracting from a number 20 or less, for example by using strategies based around the number 10 (e.g., to solve 13 – 4, one can start with 13, subtract 3 to reach 10, and then subtract 1 more to reach 9)
Quickly and accurately adding with a sum of 10 or less, and quickly and accurately subtracting from a number 10 or less (e.g., 2 + 5, 7 – 5)
Understanding what the digits mean in two-digit numbers (place value)
Using understanding of place value to add and subtract (e.g., 38 + 5, 29 + 20, 64 + 27, 80 – 50)
Measuring lengths of objects by using a shorter object as a unit of length
Making composite shapes by joining shapes together, and dividing circles and rectangles into halves or fourths
