this is so cute! question about the little laminated faces... are those the students' workmats? can you explain this? would you be able to provide this for us to download? so great!
Alyssa, The faces are creative teaching press faces. I bought them in a packet at the school supply store. Those cute cutouts and notepads make great workjobs. Be sure and read part 1 and part 2 of the workjob posts if you haven't already. It makes it a little clearer!
My fellow Kindergarten teacher and friend Kelli and I have been going crazy all fall break making math job work mats and counters... Thanks for sharing.... janice
Thanks so much for this. I'm loving the clarity in your explanations, and also the photos help me make sense of it all. Can you explain why the fair share concept is introduced when it is in this scheme please? I was going to introduce addition and subtraction before that, and am now feeling uncertain.
At one time I did do addition and subtraction before fair share. But, my kiddos understand fair share way better, so I went there first. They understand that concept because of sharing with siblings and friends. Addition and subtraction have a later developmental age before they truly understand that concept. But mostly because it was best for my kiddos!
