It's Math Time!

We've been sorting the past two weeks.  We have sorted all kinds of objects.  We've sorted by color, size, shape, and kind.  We even took off one of our shoes one day and sorted them!  First we sorted them by color.  Then we thought of another way we could sort them- by laces or no laces!

Another day we read the story A Pair of Socks.  After reading the story we sorted a big pile of socks.  I snapped a picture before the sorting began!  We discussed how the socks could be sorted and decided on these groups: stripes, solid colors, polka-dots, and hearts.  



Last week we began math stations.  Here are some of the stations students completed:



At station 1 students worked with play-doh to practice numbers 1-10.  Students either made the numeral out of play-doh or the correct amount of play-doh balls to equal the number.  These cards were made from childcareland.com


At station 2 students sorted by color.  They practiced taking turns to select a pom-pom.  Students used tweezers to pick them up and place them in the appropriate cup.


At station 3 students used pattern blocks to make various objects.  The pattern block cards were printed from kellyskindergarten.com


At station 4 students worked with a partner to sort various kinds of pasta.  

As you can see, we've been busy!
