SWBAT sort objects by size. The instructor will use a Promethean board (interactive projection) to facilitate this lesson.

Next week marks the start of our Skiing and Snowboarding program at the Waitsfield School. Today the students will find out what each classmate would prefer to do.

Are there repeating patterns in number counting? Recording skip counts may help reveal patterns that can be used in solving later math problems.

Given several math illustrations, students will be able to determine the skip pattern.

Automaticity with patterns that allow students to easily manipulate larger numbers is the aim of this lesson.

Students demonstrate comfort with addition, but show less ease with subtraction. Repeated practice with subtraction is necessary to build fluency.

This MAP Classroom Challenge provides students with an engaging and thought-provoking activity about notebooks, pens and cash registers to learn about solving equations in two variables. Includes assessment materials, student handouts, online resources, and student work samples. The entire unit can be downloaded in PDF format.

Students will be able to solve subtraction word problems using objects and write a numeral for the solution.

Using a graphic organizer can help students retell the story "The Gingerbread Bear" by Robert Dennis.

In this lesson, students continue to build their graphing skills. This lesson also reinforces important mathematical skills like counting and comparing.

Sorting is an important foundational skills for kindergarten students to learn. Using attribute blocks to sort by shape helps students practice comparing objects and prepares them to sort measurable attributes.

Students are inspired by the Button Box to find different ways to sort their own buttons, including by shape.

Sorting is an important foundational skills for kindergarten students to learn. Using attribute blocks to sort by size helps students practice comparing objects and prepares them to sort by other measurable attributes.

Clean Up this Mess! The classroom shapes are in one big heap. Students will work in teams to come up with a way to sort the shapes by attributes and create a visual representation to model their thinking

Clean Up this Mess! The classroom shapes are in one big heap. Students will work in teams to come up with a way to sort the shapes by attributes and create a visual representation to model their thinking. Pictures and videos of the lesson in action are included.

Counting bears that are the same size and shape help students focus on just one attribute.

Without understanding spacing, students will not be able to successfully track print. In addition, students who do not understand spacing will also not be able to write appropriately. Students will be introduced to Space Man. This tool is used to help students see spaces in print.
