June 15-19

Happy Monday Kindergarten!

Wow...it's already June 15th!  I don't know what's happened to time but it is flying by at record speed right when we all expected it to stand still!

I hope you had a great week counting by 10's!

Check out all our creative ways of solving some of the number problems from last week.  I love how you used pictures, numbers and words to show your work!

 

 

 

 


Look at these great giant number lines!

Did you figure out how you could sort the houses in 7 different ways?!

This week we will be learning to count by 5's!  

Please note that kindergarten children are not expected to count by 5's or 10's but many of them are ready to do this at this stage so it doesn't hurt to start.  

If your child is not able to do this yet, please don't worry...they will learn this skill in grade one.  

This week we will be solving some more math problems.  The problems this week are a little trickier and it is to be expected that your child might need some help with these.  Remember we are using these problems to teach the process of problem solving and we should not be expecting children to be proficient at this yet!  Remember the steps:

1. Talk about the problem and figure out what it is telling you and what it is asking you.
2. Act out the problem with real objects.
3. Record your answer to the problem using pictures, numbers and words.

Day 1

• Print off a One Hundred Chart HERE and have it beside your child as they watch this video to learn about counting by 5's!  Pause the video when it shows the one hundred chart and talk about where the numbers are on the hundreds chart that end with 5 and with 0.  If you have a highlighter you can work with your child to highlight all the numbers that end with a 5 and a 0.  This way they can follow along as they count by 5's.

• Here is your number problem for today:

There are 3 children.  

There are 12 apple slices  

All the children need to have the same number of apple slices.  

How many will each child have?

• Use the one hundreds board to play 'race to one hundred'!  You will need 2 dice, and a small object for each player to use as a place marker.  Each player takes turns rolling the dice, adding them together and moving that many spaces on the hundreds board.  The first person to get to one hundred is the winner!

Day 2

• Watch this video to practice counting by 5's!

• Here is your number problem for today, this one has 2 steps, so it is a little tricky:

Mrs. Seddon was having a party.  

She made 3 vanilla cupcakes and 3 chocolate cupcakes.

How many cupcakes did she make altogether?

There will be 10 kids at the party.

How many more cupcakes does she need to make?

Day 3

• Watch this video to get moving while counting by 5's!

• Here is another two step number problem:

There are 8 kids at the splash park.

There are 10 popsicles, but 4 melted.

Do we have enough popsicles?

How many more do we need?

Day 4

• Watch this video to practice counting by 5's!

• Today's number problem is about an ice cream party!  I really wish we could have an ice cream party!

The Kindergarten Kids were having an ice cream party!

4 kids wanted double scoops of chocolate.

6 kids wanted single scoops of vanilla.

2 kids wanted triple scoops of strawberry.

Quick - before it all melts!

How many scoops in all?

I hope you had a fun week!  

Only ONE more week of Kindergarten left to go!  I can't believe it!

I am so proud of you all!
