Sorting Ideas

We started sorting in math last week. 

There are SO many great ideas and resources out there for teaching kindergarten students about sorting...

Here are some of my favorite ideas...

Loveeee Kathryn at Kindergarten Kindergarten's post on sorting.

It's great creating an anchor chart

 WITH the students...

I like using this sorting pack which includes manipulatives and student sorting books.

I love using my teammate Jonelle's

adorable button sorting mats. 

Here is a quick sorting video that includes a simple explanation of sorting by different attributes.

Reading, Solving, and Writing Story Problems

We have been super busy in math. 

My class has reeeeeally loved our addition and subtraction unit - especially story problems.

It has been so rewarding teaching this unit - watching the skill and interest grow!

CHECK THESE STORY PROBLEMS OUT!! 

I used this pack to help my students read, solve, and write their own story problems. It also includes an addition and subtraction key word sort. 

Some of what's included:

Addition and Subtraction key word sort

8 story problems for students to read, illustrate,  solve, and write the equation. 

{4 addition and 4 subtraction}

  Story Problem Publishing Kit
with 6 adorable covers to choose from
or 1 ink saver version students can decorate

 A variety of paper choices for students to write their own story problems.

I truly hope your students love this as much as mine did! :)

We're Publishing Story Problems in Math!

Don't you love it when you *try* something new, something that you are unsure your students can accomplish...

and they completely knock your socks off?!

That is exactly what happened last week in math. 

My group of kinders love to learn and be challenged. I challenged them to write their own story problems and was SO impressed with their creativity and knowledge of addition and subtraction vocabulary. 

Woohoo!

We have our young authors' writing celebration coming up, so we published some of our story problems in these adorable books.

Can't wait for the students to share these with their families this week!
