Kindergarten+CCLS+Resources

These activities/lessons/games were demonstrated at the two-day Kindergarten Common Core Learning Standards Workshop help in May and June 2011.
**Lily Pad Number Words Game: ****K.CC.4abc K.CC.5 **

**Teacher Preparation **: Create lily pads for numbers 1-20 on green construction paper. Create a second set of lily pads, with the number words, 1-20 written on them on green construction paper. Have a musical song choice about frogs or numbers.

**Play the Number Word Game **: Have students sit in a circle. Choose one Kindergartener to start the math game. Have the student lay the lily pads in the center of the circle of children. He or she should be assisted if necessary. Play the musical selection. The student walks behind the students in the circle. When the music stops, the child that the student is behind goes to the center of the circle and finds a number and the matching lily pad with the number word on it. If the student has the correct answer, he or she jumps like a frog that many times. Students really learn number words in this way. Played a lot, and learning number words will come naturally. A word for management, have the students return the lily pads to the teacher after they have matched the correct number word to the number, this way the lily pads will not get wrinkled. **Continuation: ** Cut out frogs to have that many sitting on the lily pad. **K.CC.3 ** 

**Number Order Activity K.CC.2 **

The "Number Order" activity will help your kindergarten students to place written numerals in the correct order for counting numbers. The only materials needed for this number activity are number flashcards for the numerals zero through nine. You can also have your students help make their own flashcards writing and decorating written numbers on large index cards. Then have each student place the flashcards in order from zero to nine (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). This activity teaches kindergarteners to place written numbers in the correct order for counting. You can also add additional cards for 0-20 or have the students start with a number other than zero and continue counting from that point. =<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">Making 10 Card Game K.OA.4 =

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 130%;">In this game, students set up the cards like a concentration game. They try to make matches using the cards that compose the number 10. There are both dot cards and number cards to use to differentiate your instruction. =<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">﻿ = =<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"> =

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The students take turns rolling the dice and place that many sticks in their "ones" column. As soon as they can make a "ten" they bundle 10 sticks in a rubber band and move it to the "tens". The game continues until one of the pair have 5 tens. The game can be played in reverse - start with 5 tens and subtract the amount shown on the dice. This game helps students to understand regrouping. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 0px; margin-bottom: 0pt; overflow: hidden;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">This is a checklist I created so students can demonstrate the standard K.CC.1 quickly and efficiently. Please remember that rote counting and writing numbers are two different skills. If they are supposed to count, it should be verbally. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">

On the shape hunt sheet have the students spell or inventive spell where they found each object. Differentiate by have students use descriptive words like next to, above, below, in front of, beside to describe with the shape is located. (I changed this sheet from the one we did at the workshop to reflect the shapes that Kindergarteners should know. I added the rectangular prism which is not on the list of shapes in the standards.)
