Kindergarten Math with Confidence Instructor Guide
This Kindergarten Math with Confidence Instructor Guide provides scripted, open-and-go plans. These easy-to-use plans give parents the tools they need to teach math with confidence!
Carefully-sequenced, confidence-building lessons will help children develop a strong understanding of math, step by step. Daily review will ensure they fully master what they have learned.
With this blend of conceptual understanding and traditional skill practice, children prepare themselves well for first grade. Children master all the concepts typically covered in kindergarten. These concepts include counting to 100; writing numbers; beginning addition and subtraction; shapes and patterns; and coins, time, and measurement.
Includes weekly suggestions for delightful math picture books and ideas for integrating what the child is learning into daily activities. No expensive manipulatives needed; you’ll need just basic household items (like coins, objects to count, and a clock) to make math come alive for your child. Student workbook required.
Author Kate Snow’s placement help for Kindergarten Math with Confidence:
- Most children will be ready to start Kindergarten Math with Confidence when they are 5 or 6 years old. Your child does not need to have used a formal preschool math program before starting, although it’s helpful if she has already learned to count to 10 and hold a pencil.
- A few 4-year-olds may be ready to use Kindergarten Math with Confidence, but most young children won’t be ready for the number-writing on the worksheets or the more abstract concepts in the program (such as categorizing shapes or writing two-digit numbers).
- If your younger child is interested in numbers, use preschool math before starting this program. Then, monitor his level of engagement and frustration to decide whether or not he is mature enough for kindergarten math.
