The
Math in Practice Kindergarten Pack includes two books:
Teaching Kindergarten Math and
A Guide for Teachers.
In tandem with the Guide for Teachers, Teaching Kindergarten Math puts best-practice instruction and deeper understanding at your fingertips.
- All 13 Kindergarten modules begin with an About the Math section where foundational mathematical ideas, instructional goals, and learning progressions are explored.
- The Ideas for Instruction and Assessment section contains lesson ideas, formative assessment options, and suggested questions for eliciting students’ mathematical thinking.
- Extensive teacher notes that support instruction by addressing common misconceptions, differentiation options, and student thinking to look for.
- Thinking Through a Lesson sections walk through an entire lesson, including the behind-the scenes thinking and reflection of a master teacher.
- Additional Ideas for Support and Practice include tasks and centre ideas to support students who need repeated exposure or different ways to access and understand a particular concept.
The
Guide for Teachers is the linchpin of the entire series. It lays out key instructional ideas and approaches, providing a foundation for the accompanying grade-level books. Throughout the
Guide for Teachers, you'll find what standards and research say about these topics, extensive support for effectively incorporating these strategies into your everyday instruction, and opportunities to reflect on your teaching. Explore instructional strategies such as.
- asking questions that stimulate student thinking
- exploring math concepts through modeling
- using formative assessment to guide instruction.
