Mathematics

 

 

We will continue with more activities related to numbers. I noticed some of the JK children are not able to identify the numbers from 1-10 when they are in isolation. Many of the SK's continue to count things by 1's, sometimes by 2's, rather than by subitizing. Therefore, I feel it is very important the children develop a strong sense of numbers to ten. This will assist them with addition and subtraction that will come later on in the year.

 

It is far more important for children to have a strong sense of number through experiences with making the number in different ways, then it is to count to 50.

 

The curriculum states the following:

• demonstrate an understanding of number relationships for numbers from 0 to 10.
• use, read, and represent whole numbers to 10 in a variety of meaningful contexts.
• investigate and develop strategies for composing and decomposing quantities to 10.
