Planning a Kindergarten Mathematics Lesson Using Earlybird Kindergarten Mathematics
• Unit 1 Match & Sort
• Lesson 1.1 | The lesson goal is for children to match objects and pictures of objects because they are the same in essentially all properties or they are alike in one way – color, size, type.
• Theme | Sea Creatures
– I can either link it to an experience they recently had (e.g. a trip to the local aquarium) or a book they have read (e.g. The Snail and The Whale; not The Old Man and The Sea. That was a joke, so I hope you did not take me seriously.) or a cartoon they have watched (e.g. The Little Mermaid) or, for the little budding artists, a famous painting you made them appreciate (e.g. an eighteenth century painting at The Getty).
– Or I can just make up a story to go with the illustration in the Earlybird textbook.

Sea creatures, big and small went to a party, to have a ball.
Tuning In
Anchor Task Match things at the Sea Creatures Party.
They are not the same.
They are not exactly the same.
They are exactly the same.
Why did you say so?
Are they the same?
Sea creatures, big and small. They had a treasure hunt at the neighborhood mall.
Tuning In
Anchor Task Match things that one can typically find at a mall. Or ask them to do a Treasure Hunt in the class to look for things that ‘match’.
Whatever the case, the anchor task is a concrete experience
where children pick up two objects and say if they are the same or they are the same or they are not exactly the same or they are not the same and then give a reason for whatever they said.
Anchor Task Let’s see what our sea creature friends are up to! Match the sea creatures in the picture. Concrete Pictorial
Guided Practice
Are they exactly the same? They are exactly the same. They are the same animal but …
Independent Practice I can use the Activity Book.
Independent Practice I can also use other lessons for children to consolidate the key ideas of the lesson. For example, I can ask pair of children to ‘build’ their Twin Cities. There are so many other ways a teacher can use to provide practice based on their interests, ability and also the theme of that week..
I drew a yellow building.
I drew a yellow building, too. But they are
not exactly the same
