Today’s Objectives
1. Explore a variety of stations that will develop student’s mathematical skills
2. Discover how to build a strong foundation of math knowledge with practical, manageable stations
3. Collect ideas for integrating numeracy into developmentally appropriate math stations
4. Explore and participate in hands-on-activities that build your kindergarteners’ understanding and ownership of number sense
Setting Up Your Stations

Number Writing
Number Writing • At this station, students are working on number writing• We begin the year with 0-5 and gradually work our way
up to 100• In May, we play a writing to 100 game– There are two dice and one pencil– Each student has a 100 grid paper– When a student rolls doubles they get the pencil and
start writing to 100– The other students continue to roll the dice until
someone else rolls doubles. Then they get the pencil
