Math

 

 

We will continue with three-dimensional figures. The children are challenged by knowing the words cylinder, cube, sphere and cone. Reinforcing these words and showing examples with various things at home would be beneficial. Some of the math stations for this week are where the children will be investigating which of these figures can stack, roll and slide. They will continue to have opportunities to use the figures to create various structures and discuss the structures they created and the figures they used. There is a matching game that I have created where the children turn over a card that has a specific figure on it and then they find the figure that is on their recording sheet.

 

 

In order to continue to reinforce the mathematical skill of subitizing I have created a snowman game where the snowmen contain numbers two to twelve. The children roll two dice and will be encouraged to subitize the number on the first dice and then count on the second dice. This is a huge challenge for Kindergarten children, but they will require this skill for adding later on. Playing board games at home with two dice would be beneficial, especially to the SK children.
