This task analyzes students' ability to compare two and three dimensional shapes in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts, and other attributes. A student checklist and rubric are included.

This is a fun interactive which helps students practice adding. Students are given a number sentence and 3 answer choices. There is a work space below the number sentence where students can drag marbles to help them find the correct answer.

 Students will listen to the book The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires and then collaboratively work together to make a doll that talks using the Scratch program and a Makey Makey. (These two tools were introduced and taught prior to this lesson.)

This resource is as an assessment or task to assess students' ability to correctly name shapes regardless of their size or orientations and their ability to recognize shapes as two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

This is a teacher resource that shows activities for students to decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).

This Kindergarten Science Unit supports students understanding of how to classify objects by observable physical properties as well as how to c ompare the observable physical properties of different kinds of materials.

The activities in this lesson plan will help students understand the similarities and differences in families and identify attributes in themselves and others.

Students work with a partner sitting opposite one another with a divider between them. The players take turns placing one pattern block in each space on his/her grid without the other player seeing their work and use the names of the pattern blocks and positional language to describe where thier blocks are placed. The divider is removed to see if there is a match. Players swap roles and play again. Grids and directional cards are provided.

This resource contains a wide variety of pattern block mats which can be used with geometry units, center activities, or individual activities.

This free, online article, developed for elementary teachers, describes a Kindergarten polar science, standards aligned, unit centered on The Polar Express developing literacy, math, and science skills.

The Everyday Mathematics curriculum does not teach concepts in the historical unit-by-unit format.  Rather, key concepts are introduced and revisited in several units throughout the year.  The focus on returning to concept strands is referred to as "spiralling."  The spiral strand targeted in this unit is focussed on data collection and representation.  Students will learn how to represent data on (and read data from) charts and graphs.

Introduction to Seesaw for K and 1st grade level speech/language groups .  Seesaw is a student driven digital portfolio, to share student work with parents..  I will be using Seesaw to improve parent involvement with speech homework (send copies of practice words, activities, etc.)  as an additional means of communication (add video clips of what we are up to in speech class), as well as a motivational tool for students to view their work and progress (show their progress over time, eg., an articulation sample for beginning of the year and end of the year).

This interactive game reinforces students' knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes by having them match objects to shapes or objects to words. Students can play by memory or while seeing the objects. All cards are supported by audio instruction.

Students use rubber bands to make different shapes on their geoboard. Next, they choose one the of the shapes they have made and draw it on geoboard paper. Lastly, students label and describe their shape.
