Consider
reviewing your daily Calendar activities and updating them to reflect the new
Kindergarten Common Core Standards. Use the set of flashcards of the
3-dimensional shapes-cube, cone, cylinder, and sphere to develop an anchor chart that lists "What Our Class Noticed
About These Solid Shapes". Each week feature a different 3-dimensional
shape and add it to the Calendar Bulletin Board Area (or Smartboard Calendar). The anchor chart would then
grow with student information about what they are noticing about the shapes as
they do activities during center, calendar or math instructional time.
The
dominoes, which use the same images as the flashcards, could then be used as a follow-up practice
activity at the end of the month as a summarizing activity. The domino game
could be played in whole group with groups of 2 or 4 students, OR be placed in
a math center for small groups of two or four children. There are 5 pages or
dominoes or 40 dominoes.
The
"math talk" card (suggested by Debbie
Diller in her book "Math Work Stations") could be used while
the students play the game to ensure that a rich vocabulary is being used while
playing the game.
