Team Project

Idea:


 * The group looked at Brain Based Teaching to improve learning.
 * How hands-on activities improve classroom climate.
 * How activity connects to State standards in Kindergarten
 * Using objectives to count whole numbers

Concerns Addressed:


 * Kindergarten students that are struggling with number recognition
 * Helping all types of learners improve basic math skills
 * Playing with concrete objects (manipulatives) to allow students to built upon intuitive understanding of numbers
 * Exploring mathematics with concrete objects to help student's understanding

Objectives:


 * Students will learn to count by using concrete objects - example: popsicle sticks to recognize whole numbers 0-20
 * Students will use one to one correspondence to match quantities using numbers and words

 Assessment :


 * Did Kindergarten students show improvement in counting with meaning and recognize 6-10 as 5 and some ones?

Technology:


 * Teachers used digital video recorders to record activity with Kindergarten students.
 * Teachers used digital camera to record activity
 * Teacher will model how to use digital camera and video recorders for future student use
 * Post the video on the NING site

Proposal:


 * Students will have an opportunity to elicit the arrangement of mathematical thinking to enhance their knowledge of mathematical number recognition.
