Subitizing is being able to quickly recognize how many objects are in a small set without having to count the objects. In this short video I show how to use dot cards, dice, 10-frames, and dominoes in developing number sense skills so important for success in mathematics. .
One of my goals for the beginning of the new school year was to get my students excited about math from the moment they walked in the door. To do this I started our math lessons in the area (no pun intended!) of geometry through hands-on activities and projects. I discovered that through allowing kids to design, create, and build – something all kids love – I could sneak in important ideas in math. But the other thing I discovered…
We all know that when parents get involved in their child’s education, student learning increases. What better way to get parents actively involved in important skills than through fun and engaging games that reinforce classroom learning? That’s the idea behind the newest addition to our Family Math Night kit series: Make-N-Take Station Kit. Designed to give students practice in important number skills, our Make-N-Take Kit is the perfect way to make sure your K-5 students continue the learning at home….
The video version of my Family Math Night Activity: Fruit of Life Collaborative Project where participants use patterned duct tape and small hoops to create an important symbol in Sacred Geometry, the Fruit of Life. Embedded in the Fruit of Life are the 5 Platonic Solids. This photo shows the cube. This is also a fun classroom activity and is a great way to tie art in with math!
