Not kidding at all! Janece Jones has an amazing Arizona kindgergarten class. Her students have been able to do some pretty heavy stuff. I found her lessons very interesting with the manipulatives she has the kids use to count, add, and subtract and solve story problems. Using familiar examples she has kids draw 2 "sets" that equal a given number. They also learn important math words while doing these tasks. Students in her class are very fortunate. Please note the side bar list of Common Core math expectations for kindergarten students. The New K-12 standards for Arizona is worth looking at too - sidbar link.
What do you think of these activities for Title I kids? Share your thoughts.
