Let's Learn Preschool: Hands on Math (#’s 1-5) BG Level Kindergarten Readiness

This course is designed for beginning learners from ages three to four years of age who are at the beginning of their math journey!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what we will do: 

- We will recite numbers (1-5) through the use of various images. 
- We will move on to create our own visual models of the numbers (1-5) using a basic math tool and student selected manipulatives (beans, counters, small toys, etc). 
- We will apply the skills used throughout class to our own environment using a mystery number. 
- We will conclude class sharing our mystery number findings. 


Materials:
manipulatives (beans, counters, small toys)
basic learning tool (provided) requires printing and a little snipping ✂️ prior to class

➡️ Please note: I have an intermediate (#'s 1-10) version of this course as well as expansion courses coming very soon.

Here is why we will do it: 

As an educator in the brick and mortar, virtual, and homeschool classrooms. I have always been fascinated with the process of learning and retention. I make a conscious effort to consider and gear instruction towards various learning styles and levels of skill. 

The implementation of Bloom's Taxonomy has always been key to taking my learners on a journey from lower level cognitive skills to higher more complex levels of thought and skill set. 

In this class we will begin at Blooms basic knowledge level, flow to the comprehension level, and end the course at the application level. With an ultimate goal of strengthening their current ability to understand, relate, and connect numbers (number sense) as they prepare for kindergarten and beyond! 🚀✨




  “Math is important and it’s important to help young children develop their mathematical thinking. A child’s math knowledge at the start of kindergarten predicts later academic achievement better than early reading or attention skills.”
