Objectives for the evening: • Analyze student data from our first meeting • Set realistic goals for your child’s rote counting skills and number recognition (to be reevaluated in 6 weeks) • Learn Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten expectations • Connect learning between home and school by using the items in the kit provided to you

Definitions ??? • Rote counting • Counting aloud “1, 2, 3, 4, 5” • Not counting objects • Numeral identification • Stating the names of the numbers aloud when shown a flash card or in a real-life scenario • 1:1 Correspondence • Assigning a number to an object • Ex: If there are six chairs at the table, put one paper towel for each seat
Brain Development & Memory Mathematical development in children progresses through universal stages. Children can be in different stages of development and with continual practice, will advance to the next stage.
Did you know…? • The human brain develops more rapidly between birth and age five than during any other time in your life! • Practice = memory • The preschool years are the time in which the brain begins to make the most of its size by deciding which connections to keep and which to forget. • The brain operates on a "use it or lose it" principle: only those concepts that connect and are frequently stimulated (turned on, used, set in motion) are remembered.
Pre-K Expectations:Learning about numbers • Rote counting: count aloud to at least 30 by the end of the school year • Numeral identification: identify at least 1-20 by the end of the school year
How we work on math skills at school http://www.starfall.com/n/holiday/calendar/load.htm?f&n=main
How to help with math skills at home: • Talk with your child all of the time! • Read books which involve numbers or math concepts • Play mathematical games • Count everything! • Use numbers in a natural setting (elevator floor, finding a room number, weight on a scale, telling time—digital) • Use the items in your kit!
Rote Counting Data • Counting aloud • Highest number they counted before making a miscue • Ms. Guzman’s class average: 30 Range: 10-100 • Ms. Smith’s class average: 38 Range: 1-115 • Ms. Finley’s class average: 26 Range: 5-100
Goal Setting • 6 weeks to show growth Example: Current rote counting ability: can count to 14 aloud In 6 weeks, Molly will be able to count to 20 without skipping numbers. Current numeral identification: knows 6/20 numbers In 6 weeks, Deandre will be able to identify numbers 1-10.
Kindergarten Expectations:Thinking about numbers • Count to 100 by ones and tens • Count forward from a given number without starting back at 1 • Count 20 objects from a group • Write numbers from 0-20 • Represent and solve addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, or drawings up to 10 • Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 (5=2+3 and 5=4+1) • Use numbers 11-19 to become familiar with place value (19=1 ten and 9 ones, 15=1 ten and 5 ones)
4 Stations • Create flashcards 1-10 put stickers on the back to help with counting 1-20 stickers optional 1-30 • Create a pathway game Use stickers to create a pathway—easy or difficult depending on your child’s skill level • Look at books with mathematical concepts • Complete a survey about tonight’s topic
Next time we meet… • Wednesday, April 9th at 6 PM • Review student data from this workshop • Learn about reading and more ways to connect learning at home and school • Receive books for your child’s home library!
Ehh! What’s up doc? Read with your child every day! Talk with your child everyday!
