Math Centers

The children are beginning to be pros at recognizing and counting coins.  Today they went "shopping" at a pet store. 
There are several strategies we have been learning about to solve an addition problem: counting on, tally marks, touch points, number line and the last one which we used today: math counters. 
The kids have been working really hard on word problems.  Word problems can be tough for a kindergartener; first they must decode the words in the story problem, comprehend what the problem says, and then they must figure out a strategy to solve the problem.  They are doing a great job with this and the more we practice, the better we will be!
