Kindergarten, Math, Week 14

Monday we compared Capacity.

• I pulled a variety of containers off shelves and out of cupboards and we used water or oatmeal to see which held more and which held less.

Tuesday K. wrote the numbers 0 through 20.

Wednesday we worked with Number Theory.

• I got out a number line (0 through 40) and the word cards
• first
• last
• next
• before
• after
• between
• I asked questions such as:
• What is the first number?
• What number comes next?
• What number is before 28?
• What number is after 15?
• What numbers are between 21 and 25?
• That was hard at first, so I had K. put one finger on 21 and one finger on 25, then she could tell me the numbers that were "between".

Thursday we counted by 10's to 100.

• Use manipulatives, if needed.

Friday we Measured with Inches.

• I handed K. a book and asked her to measure on side. It was about 6 inches.
• Then, without using a ruler, I had to go find something that I thought was 6 inches.
• K. measured to see how close I was.
• Then we switched roles.
