We are eager to work with you and your students as we learn new mathematical concepts. The State of Georgia is using Mathematics Georgia Standards of Excellence (MGSE) that call for students to be actively engaged in the learning process. During this student’s learning focus will be counting and comparing numbers. In class, your child will receive a consumable My Math workbook and online access for practice. Concepts Students will Use and Understand
Vocabulary
GOALS FOR CHILDREN The goal for students is to be able to quickly recognize the quantity of beads using their understanding of 5. The use of rekenreks fosters subitization, fluency, and computation with addition and subtraction. The goal for Kindergarteners is to be able to recognize dot arrangements in varying patterns on five- and ten-frames. The use of five- and ten-frames fosters instant recognition of sets of objects (subitization), fluency and computation with addition and subtraction. In the above example, the student may see three dots on the top row and four dots on the bottom row to recognize seven dots. They may also see seven as two groups of three dots and one more dot. FUN AT HOME ACTIVITIES This is a fun activity for your child to work on fine motor skills as well as counting. Have them string the correct amount of beads onto each pipe cleaner. Students can practice counting with the beginning number concepts templates. There are two number concepts templates: 1-5 and 6-10 More Home Activities
