Kindergarten Math A

In this problem-based curriculum, students will build on their math skills through exploration with interactives and virtual manipulatives. Students will develop counting skills and compare values of a wide variety of counting tools including 5-frames and connecting cubes. They will explore differences in shapes and describe, compare, and sort them. They will also use pattern blocks to make larger shapes. They reinforce their counting and comparison skills as they count and compare the pattern blocks used to create larger shapes. Students also use positional words to describe shapes. Finally, they will solve story problems to begin to develop their understanding of addition and subtraction. Students represent the problems in different ways, by acting them out, drawing, using numbers, or using objects.
