https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr Interventions and strategies to use when teaching math in Kindergarten Classrooms. en-us 2016-11-12 16:55:42 UTC 2024-04-29 13:57:56 UTC hello@padlet.com kmhouck1 https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/137143926 I included this video because it shows a great intervention to use in kindergarten math when teaching students different number combinations.  From this video I learned how to guide students in visualizing numbers in different ways.  This would be an easy and quick intervention to use with students either in one-on-one or small group settings. I really liked this intervention because it teaches students to look for groups of numbers, instead of counting which will help them with addition.]]> 2016-11-12 17:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/137143926 kmhouck1 https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/139645783 I included this video because Part Part Whole relationships teach students to look at numbers as being made of two or more parts.  This is a very important concept for young students to learn after they learn how to count. From this video I learned that it is extremely important for students to use concrete objects like connecting blocks to physically move the 'parts' to 'whole'.  The physical moving of the objects really emphasizes that when they add, they are really just conjoining two parts.  I really like this intervention because it can be used used to model addition and subtraction, as well as figuring out the unknown number.]]> 2016-11-23 18:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/139645783 kmhouck1 https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/139649214  I included this video because "Bears in a Cave" activity is another great intervention students can use to practice generating number combinations and finding the missing addend in a number sentence. ]]> 2016-11-23 19:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/139649214 kmhouck1 https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/140051035 The focus of this article is intervention for third - grade students with serious mathematics deficits at third grade. Even though this article is focused on students with mathematical disabilities in third grade, I included this article because the article addresses the importance that number combinations are introduced and a large benchmark for the Kindergarten curriculum.  The article addresses how important it is that students obtain and learn this skill in the earlier grades because 
when students still manifest deficiencies involving number combinations at the later grades, a pressing need exists for remediation. I also included this article because it includes and describes in depth research on specific interventions used in math. What i learned from this article is that it is extremely important for students in Kindergarten to master this skill and to become fluent in number combinations because all math builds off of this skill.

Use manipulatives: Use objects (chips, teddy bear counters, snap cubes, etc.). Student should count objects and say the number of objects in that set. NOTE: The final number counted is known as the cardinality of the set or the number which tells how many objects are in that set. After the student has counted each object, ask the student how many objects there are. If the student recounts the objects, he/she has not yet made the connection. If the student merely restates the last number, he/she has learned the cardinality of sets.

Clothespin cards: Give student number cards and have the student attach the appropriate number of clothespins to each card. 

Stamping sets: Give student number cards and have student stamp that many objects on the card.

Hole punch: Give student number cards and have student punch an appropriate number of holes in the card. 

Baggie Collections: Provide baggies with different numbers of objects in each bag and a set of appropriate number cards. Have student count objects in each bag, then select the number card to name that amount. Students can simply place the objects and number card back into the baggie for checking. Suggestion: Mark the bags with letters or shapes for easy checking of student work.

Listen and Tally: Teacher uses coins to drop one-by-one into a can so that they make a loud noise. Students should not be able to see the teacher drop the coins, but have to rely on listening for the sound. Students should make one tally mark on their whiteboards for each coin they hear drop. When teacher is finished, students count the tally marks and write the correct number on their whiteboards.

Within this article the author explains the IMI and how it helped her become a stronger, more confident Kindergartener math teacher. I included this article because I really enjoyed it and because it provides awesome intervention strategies that she used to successfully help her students learn basic number skills and identifying numbers. What I learned from this article is the importance of collaborating with other staff and teachers. Collaborating allows teachers share ideas and to work together to come up with new ways to help students become successful. ]]> 2016-11-27 21:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/140054378 kmhouck1 https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/140057659 I included this video because it utilizes a math lab and literacy center as classes. Rather than pulling students from their class instruction, students are given the opportunity to attend math lab or literacy center  as one of their specials. Students are identified and given the focused instruction that is needed but not always at the expense of grade level instruction.]]> 2016-11-27 22:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/140057659 kmhouck1 https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/140058962 2016-11-27 22:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/140058962 kmhouck1 https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/143009944 2016-12-11 19:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhouck1/1331w0b7bphr/wish/143009944
