Math Workshop

We are implementing the workshop model in Math this year.  As a Kindergarten team we use the lessons from Math in Focus and supplement them with engaging hands-on activities chosen to provide students with additional practice of the math concepts addressed in our curriculum.  There are four stations that provide the students with valuable practice of math concepts that align with the common core standards.



We are currently working on developing an understanding of place value and numbers to 100.  We have enjoyed skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's.

The help of volunteers is greatly appreciated during our Math Workshop times.  Please let me know if you would like to help at any time - Monday 1:00 - 1:45, Tuesday 12:30 - 1:15, Wednesday 1:45 - 2:30, Thursday 12:30 - 1:15, and Friday 12:30 - 1:15.
