Life in the Classroom

When we begin our year off learning new addition strategies and we add them to the anchor chart as we go. Eventually, this is hung up in the classroom for students to reference throughout the school year. We also are able to use this for our Number Talks during the week. Students can use any strategy they'd like to help them solve a problem that is posed. If you want to see an example of a Number Talks activity, you can click the link above and it will direct you to YouTube.

Number search--Have kids walk around the room and find the numbers and then circle each number that they find. I just had them find 1-13 and then draw thirteen things at the bottom of the page.

                                        This is an activity that I did in a kindergarten classroom. They were learning about 3D shapes and they used these shapes to create a picture. They really enjoyed doing this activity. It was engaging and hands-on.

  I got this from another teacher. She made this using plastic plate, fishing wire, beads, and number cards.
