Students need to be critical thinkers who can make sense of information, analyze, compare, contrast, make inferences, and use higher level thinking skills. To think critically about something means to think about it in steps.
Included are:
• Six center activities including simple analogies.
• Worksheets
• Critical thinking booklet
Help your students master their understanding of position words (aka positional words) with these fun and engaging activities and worksheets. These are great for math centers, small group instruction, intervention, or whole group activities. This resource also includes teacher resources like lesson ideas, anchor charts and posters.
Students should understand the concept of the measurement of time, for example, morning, afternoon and night, before, after, later and next.
They will be learning days of the week and months of the year and how a calendar works.
They will be introduced to a clock and telling time to the hour.
Can your students organize objects in order by size, location or position, quantity or sequence? With these center activities and worksheets, they will have fun practicing the skill of ordering.
The students should be capable of ordering three or four objects.
Kindergarten students learn to recognize numbers 1 to 12. which requires strong visual discrimination skills since many numerals (6 and 9, or 3 and 8) look like each other. After the child is able to recognize the numbers and he knows each number’s name, he can develop an understanding of the amount each number represents.
Your kindergarten and first grade students will love learning about all types of measurement with these fun hands-on measuring activities. In this resource your students will learn about measuring length, weight, and capacity (volume). This resource includes activities for measuring with standard and non-standard units of measurement. Students are also introduced to key measurement vocabulary. Bring math to life with this hands-on measurement resource.
Measurement involves an understanding of what it means to measure, rather than simply knowing how to measure. When we measure length, weight, time, capacity, temperature, etc., we are trying to find out “how much”. This understanding helps students build stronger analytical thinking skills.
Spatial relationships tell where things are in relationship to something else. Learning to understand position words helps children talk about where things are located.
Included are:
• 2 pattern block matching activities
• Puzzles
• Position word activity
• Matching shapes activity
• Worksheets
• Spatial awareness booklet
Your pre-k and kindergarten students will learn about 2 and 3 dimensional shapes, their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and . Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
Use these activities during whole group or small group to name and describe the shapes They can also be used at math centers, and as independent practice.
The shapes are different sizes and positions, shapes found in common everyday items and 3-dimensional shapes.
Fairy Tale Math - In which fairy tales would you find a broken chair, a pumpkin, a bridge, hay, or a cow?
We have 57 fairy tale pictures of people, places things and animals to sort and classify, and 16 header cards to use as categories in this resource.
Students can sort the cards by
•character and setting,
•fairy tale,
•real or make-believe.
After they have completed one of the sorts, they complete a data chart where they gather and record the data, and interpret the data.
Have fun learning!
