Kindergarten: February Unit
Adding and Subtracting (@ 20 days)

Overview

View the video introduction. In February, Kindergarten mathematics focuses on learning critical mathematics skills and includes lessons on number sense, counting, and computation. Kindergarten students will experience addition and subtraction to 10 using manipulatives.

Enduring Understandings are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

  • Appropriate computational skills are needed to communicate solutions of real world problems.

Essential Questions are the most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

  • How do we use addition and subtraction to solve problems?

CSAP Tested Standards  Highest Frequency High Frequency Other Standards and E-Skills
 Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these skills will must be demonstrated at this grade level.
 High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills is expected at this grade level.
 Other Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive towards mastery.

 

Standard 6: Computation - February

Practice addition and subtraction problems through 10 using manipulatives.

Apply and communicate a strategy using computation techniques to solve problems.

Parents

How your Kindergartener has grown in mathematical concepts by this point in the school year! You can continue to support your child by including him/her in everyday activities that involve counting, adding, and subtraction. Use pennies, beans, dice, and dominoes to provide lots of practice adding and subtracting actual objects. These activities will help your child grasp the important concepts of composing and decomposing numbers that lead directly to formal addition and subtraction. You'll be working hard, but it will feel like fun to you and your child!
