In this 5-lesson unit primary students identify attributes of buttons and other objects in their classrooms. Throughout the unit students learn to collect data about objects, display the data (Venn diagrams, pictographs, and bar graphs), and analyze the data to determine what this tells us about buttons and/or other objects. Each of the five lesson plans includes necessary student/class worksheets, questions for students, extension ideas, and assessment ideas. Lessons 2 and 3 reference stories that are an important part of the skill development: "The Button Box" by Margarette Reid and "The Elves and the Shoemaker" story.

In this 8-lesson unit students use buttons to explore logical and numerical relationships that form the conceptual basis for understanding addition and subtraction operations. Topics include counting, ordinal numbers (and relative position), classification (attributes), relationships between numbers, addition of sets, commutativity of addition, sums to 10, fact families (including subtraction), three models of subtraction ("take away", comparative, missing addend), and bar graphs. Includes student activity sheets and a link to an online graphing applet.

In this card game students play in pairs to practice recognizing the biggest number.

In this 6-lesson unit, students explore 5 models of subtraction (counting, sets, number line, balanced equations, and inverse of addition) using connecting cubes. The lesson activities focus on the comparative mode of subtraction as children investigate the relationship between addition and subtraction, write story problems in which comparison is required, and practice the subtraction facts. The lessons include printable student activity sheets, a bibliography of children's counting books, questions for student discussion and teacher reflection, assessment options, extensions, and links to online applets (cataloged separately).

This resource contains lessons and activities for counting collections and subitizing. It was inspired by learning within The Power of Early Mathematics, 2024, a WISELearn Innovation Grant funded WI Department of Public Instruction learning series.

ESGI is a huge time saver for assessment!  The website has over 200 pre-built assessment for all early learning benchmarks. Save time and trees- go digital!  The company offers a 60 day free trial. No committment to get started.

Students can use this interactive Flash applet to practice subitizing and counting groups of objects, to understand the importance of 5 in our base-10 number system, and to learn basic addition facts. In the four included games students construct groups of 5 objects, add groups of objects within 10, and identify and record numbers within 10. Auditory prompts support students with limited reading ability.

After students observed, analyzed, and classified objects by shape into pre-determined categories in Module 2, they now compare and analyze length, weight, volume, and, finally, number in Module 3. The module supports students’ understanding of amounts and their developing number sense. The module culminates in a three-day exploration, one day devoted to each attribute: length, weight, and volume.

This marbel counting iteration of greater than, less than, and equal to with a specific "target number" help strengthen the concept for students.

This google slide show is for use as a numeracy routine in the kindergarten classroom during third quarter. Students will answer a question using a graph format by dragging their names to the appropriate spot. Students will then be given a chance to notice and wonder about the graph. Finally, teachers will lead a mathematical discussion about the results of the graph.

This lesson introduces students to the measurable attribute of length and provides practice in measuring length using non-standard units. The lesson is launched using the story Ladybug on the Move by Richard Fowler. Lesson objectives, teaching ideas, and handouts are included.

In this unit of 8 lessons, students make groups of zero to 10 objects, learn number names for the groups, compose and decompose numbers, and practice writing numerals to record the size of a group. Each lesson includes visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities and supporting materials, questions to facilitate student thinking and teacher reflection, assessment suggestions, and a link to online applets that support the unit.

In this 6-lesson unit students develop concepts of number, relationships between numbers, and equality. They make groups of 10 to 20 objects, connect number names to the groups, compose and decompose numbers, and use numerals to record the size of a group. Each lesson includes visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities, as well as student activity sheets, questions for teachers and students, ideas for assessment and extensions, and links to electronic applets.

In this 5-lesson unit students make groups of zero through five objects and connect number words to the groups. They develop counting strategies and use numerals to record the size of a group. Lessons include familiar nursery rhymes and songs, links to interactive applets, and visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities. Also included are student activity sheets, questions for students and teachers, assessment and extension ideas.

How much shorter is Lil' Sister than Big Sister? This 3 Act Task by Graham Fletcher begins with picture of two sisters standing back to back. First students make observations and estimates to begin determine how much shorter the little sister is to the bigger sister. Students can then use images of each sister along with a measuring tool of interlocking cubes to determine the height of each sister. Lastly, students will find the difference between the girls' two heights. Students are estimating, measuring, adding, and subtracting to determine how much shorter the little sister is than the big sister.

Designed to promote kindergarteners' mastery of number order. This app replicates a simple classroom activity in which children place number tiles in order from least to greatest. Options include using 10, 15, or 20 number tiles and designating a range of beginning numbers.

In this unit plan, primary learners explore the five models of subtraction (counting, sets, number line, balanced equations, and inverse of addition) using concrete (links), pictorial, and verbal representations to develop an understanding of symbolic notations. Students also investigate fact families, including those where one addend is 0 and where the addends are alike and also learn that the order (commutative) property) does not hold for subtraction. A brief bibliography of related books for children is provided. Instead of using hands on manipulatives and balances, links to Java applets: Pan Balance-Shapes and Pan Balance-Numbers ( both cataloged separately) are included. Instructional plan, questions for the students, assessment options, extensions,and teacher reflections are given for each lesson as well as links to down load all student resources.

This counting activity is done in pairs and helps reinforce the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to.

Después de que los estudiantes observaron, analizaron y clasificaran objetos por forma en categorías predeterminadas en el Módulo 2, ahora comparan y analizan la longitud, el peso, el volumen y, finalmente, el número en el módulo 3. El módulo respalda a los estudiantes la comprensión de las cantidades y sus Desarrollo de sentido de los números. El módulo culmina en una exploración de tres días, un día dedicado a cada atributo: longitud, peso y volumen.
