      This activity could be adapted to many themes based on the interests of students in your class.  The point is that they are using geometry for real-world (or in this case, fantasy-pretend-world) applications.  Also, it could be made easier or more complex depending on the age and ability levels of your students.  For example, struggling students could just focus on one aspect, such as wands.  More advanced students could run the whole store.  It really has a lot of room for creative interpretation.

    What is a prime number? Check out this great way to learn. Find a deck of cards and deal them out. We hope your hand has a lot of prime numbers in it! If it does, you have a good chance of winning. If not, we wish you luck when you reach your hand over to the draw pile. Before you know it, you'll have the first several prime numbers memorized and some great skills to take with you back to math class.

  • For younger children, you could have one of each number card with 55 snowballs to match the number cards 0-10.
  • For the activity, I would have the child choose two number cards, placing the larger number in the space to the left. Then he or she could count out the correct number of snowflakes to place above the minuend as in the photo.As the child counts out the correct number for the subtrahend, he or she could count out and move that number of snowflakes to the area above the subtrahend. After taking away those snowflakes, the child could then count out the snowflakes left and place the number card with the difference in the last space. Continue creating and solving subtraction equations as long as the child is interested.

      This game enforces fluency of adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers. It could be extended to the teaching of probablity, as every turn runs the risk of not rolling a 5 or a 1 (to continue playing) and requires players to regularly assess the chances of rolling a specific combination. This game gives ELL students and lower English speaking students lots of practice talking large math problems out in their heads as they keep track of each other's scores.

      This game can be adapted for whichever skills a particular student needs extra work on.  For example, you could multiply the cards rather than add if that is what needs worked on, but addition also works really well with the cards.  Students struggling could have half of the cards removed so they are only playing with a few numbers.  Then the rest of the deck could be added in as they advance and grow more confident.

    In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, taller, wider, and narrower. These concepts are not only important for kindergarten math, they also encourage children to become better scientific observers. So find a space to roam-a sandy beach, a wooded park, or a lakeside shore, all offer ample materials to help your child understand size comparison words.

      This activity is great for all learners because it takes an abstract concept like mass (weight) and provides a visual for students to think about, in terms of 1 crayon equals 2 erasers in mass, or 2 crayons equal 1 pencil in length). It provides opportunities for ELL and low English speaking students to work with measurement on terms they are familiar with.

Finding the least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions is one of the basic skills needed to work with fractions. You can find the common denominator of two fractions by finding the smallest number that is a multiple of both of them (lowest common multiple). This activity will give children plenty of practice in figuring out the lowest common multiple of two numbers.
