      This activity can be extended as students learn new numbers and become more fluent with counting.

    One-to-one correspondence is an important skill that needs to be mastered in kindergarten. In a nutshell, one-to-one correspondence means children are able to count a group of objects, while touching each object, one at a time. (Kind of like that one potato game...) While this concept might seem obvious, it's more advanced than just counting out loud, which is called "rote counting" because it takes things to the next level-- associating spoken numbers with real objects.

      This can be a fun project for the students to make their own "house" and "families." Teachers can make a social studies connection by trying to arrange the houses in two rows facing each other. Number the houses on the right with even numbers and the ones on the left with odd … just like the houses on a real-life street.

      The picture for this activity looks really cute. I wonder how hard it would be for little ones to draw faces on craft sticks. You'd probably want to put newspaper down on the desks and be prepared to have marker on their hands, but still, it looks like an engaging activity that would be worth a little mess.
  • Mary Jo Mack on 01 Feb 12
     
    Most five-year-olds master counting out loud long before they walk into kindergarten. This is always exciting to watch, but it doesn't mean that kids truly understand what numbers mean. Kindergarten teachers want to make sure that kids can count objects, but also connect groups of things to abstract numbers. This whimsical craft helps kids do just that, and reuses empty milk cartons to boot.

  • pennies and dimes on a piggy bank bulletin board I also count the first 100 days of school. On a bulletin board I have a pig pink piggy bank cut out. Everyday we put up a penny (velcro spots on the bulletin board and on back of large paper coins). When we get 10 pennies, I take them down, change to a dime and stick it in the bank. Everyday we count the money orally. I teach first grade, and this really seemed to help last year. vicki dugan, 10/29/00 on teachers.net primary elementary board

      This would be a wonderful connection to literature and a service learning project. Are you familiar with the counting rice website where the students calculate math problems while earning rice for people living in third world countries?
  • Lori Jones on 02 Feb 12
     
    I would modify this idea to include nickels and quarters also.  The students add one penny for each day.  When ten pennies accumulate, a dime is substituted.  Perhaps they add a nickel for each rainy day until five nickels accumulate (and a quarter is substituted.)  We would skip count by fives and tens (depending on what we have on our piggy) until we can total our amount.  Each day we will accumulate more of each.

    Have a lot of loose buttons lying around the house? Put them to use! Leftover buttons make for great tactile math games and art projects to do with your kindergartner. Children are attracted to the bright colors and shapes of buttons, so they're perfect for teaching your child important concepts like sorting, counting, and patterning. Here are four ways to turn those loose buttons into an easy and positive learning experience.

      This activity can be adjusted to different number patterns. Instead of counting by 10's you could count by any number such as by 5's or 3's. For the ELLs in your classroom you could use cereals from their home countries so they would have a home connection to the classroom. You could also turn this activity into a patterning one where the students create patterns based on cereal type and/or colors.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 31 Jan 12
     
    Students use rainbow-colored "o" cereal to create a necklace that counts by 10 to 100.

    Celebrate the 100th day of school by creating a math-inspired mural! Count shapes all the way up to 100 for each day of school that has gone by this year. Creating a mural is a great way to celebrate this special school milestone while also learning about important art and math concepts. Students will explore geometry, patterns, scale, and symmetry and use creative thinking and problem solving as they immerses themselves in the wonderful world of art and mural making. As he cuts out his shapes, he'll practice counting, shape recognition, and develop those fine motor skills, too!

  • counting
  • This game allows kids to explore three primary math concepts in one: by moving pennies into the tens column, your child enacts the idea of “place value”—“ones,” “tens,” “hundreds,” and so on. By counting up to $1.00, your child practices moving around on the number line…
    • Susan Shonle
      Susan Shonle on 31 Jan 12
       
      Extensions: This activity can connect math with art (using pictures of currency)  This activity also incorporates a real world skill - counting money. Adaptations: Gifted student can use other coins not mentioned to reach goal of $1.00.  ESL students can draw pictures of currency to understand value of money used and use chart to understand place value.  Special Ed students can have more time to count and be paired with another peer.

      K.CC.4 "Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality." This activity can be used with ELL students by having them simply count the spaces, rather than finding the matching number from the die. The gifted students can be given cards, rather than die, with simple math problems on them. The student would move their froggy to the number on the board that is the solution to their math problem. For example, if their card read "3 + 2", the child would move their froggy to the 5 space. This activity could be used with older grades by using the card concept, but using multiplication or division problems.

    Children roll a dice to advance their "froggy" to the next number. The first one to get the froggy in it's house at the end of the tray, wins!

      2.NBT.2 "Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s." This activity can be modified for gifted students by making the pattern more challenging for them. For example, instead of making the pattern of counting by 2s, the teacher could make the pattern counting by 2s, plus 1. This activity could be used for older grades by having the students come up with their own patterns.

But put the two things together and you've got some fun activities that will get your child excited about math basics like estimation, measurement, area, and counting. He'll have so much fun, he won't even know he's doing math! Here some ideas for marshmallow math games you can play with your kindergartner.
