math centers in kinder 4

These are some of the activities we have been doing in the math center these months. Some activities involved the kids to explore the materials while others are directed by the teacher.

- SHAPES AND SORTING

 WE ARE PRETTY GOOD AT SORTING MANIPULATIVES BY COLORS OR QUALITIES.

We are also very good at finding shapes around the classroom.

- DECOMPOSING NUMBERS USING NUMICON 
Numicon is a fantastic way to understand numbers. Kids can work on numbers in a very intuitive way.

THE NUMBER LINE
Right now kids are very good at counting, but we need to start paying atention to the place numbers have in the line.

- NUMBER QUANTITY

ORAL PROBLEMS USING POPSICLE STICKS
 each child has a set of 10 sticks to work with, we make pairs, order them, count them, and use them as manipulatives to solve oral problems.
