Kindergarten, Math, Week 5

Monday and Tuesday we worked more with Time.

• I set the clock to an hour (2:00) and asked K. what time it showed. I did this about 5 times.
• Then I let her set the clock to an hour and I told her what time it showed.
• Next I put the clock at 4:00. K told me the time.
• Then I moved the minute hand one mark. "The time is four-o-one. That means one minute past 4:00." I wrote 4:01 as it looks on a digital clock.
• I moved the minute had one more mark. "What time is it?" "four-o-two" "What does it mean?" She couldn't tell me. "Two minutes past 4:00." I wrote 4:02.
• We continued this, one minute at a time to 4:07. K. was starting to get tired of it, so I put 4 marks on the paper and said, "We are going to do 4 more, and then we are through."
• I moved the hands to 4:15, asked my 2 questions and wrote 4:15, and crossed off one mark.
• Using the same process I did 4:30, 4:45, and 5:00.

Wednesday we visited Symmetry again.

• I got out a mirror and we saw how the mirror makes pictures symmetrical (integrating science).
• Then I got out the sheet of paper that has a dowel down the middle. I made a design on one side, K. made the symmetrical design on the other side. Then we switched.
• Sometimes she would start to make the design look exactly like mine instead of symmetrical. I pulled out the mirror and held it up so she could see what it should look like.

Thursday we played Solid Shapes Bingo.

Friday we worked with Ordinals and Time.

• First we get up
• Second we get dressed
