Common Core Math Ideas

My Kinders are currently learning different strategies they can use when they add or subtract. Here is a picture of some of the posters I have created for my students to use when given an addition or subtraction situation that they need to follow.

One of my student's favorite Math Game is The Haunted House Game.

Students play with a partner.  They are given a plastic bag with 1-10 number cards and ten lima bean ghosts (with a pen draw a spooky face on a lima bean).  The directions of how to play the game at home are glued to the back of the bag.  First the start with the number 3.  They lay the card in front of the standing haunted house and place 3 ghosts by the number card.  One student closes their eyes white the other hides some or all of the ghosts in the haunted house bag.  When the other child opens their eyes they must say the number of ghosts that are in the haunted house.  This game supports all of the strategies learned in addition and subtractions.  Once the number 3 becomes to easy, students lay the next number with the corresponding ghosts.
