Kindergarteners will compare, count, and order numbers in fun and creative ways. From counting and categorizing bears, to leaping over numbers on a number line, to catching a set number of fireflies on the page, kindergarten students will start to develop an understanding of number comparison, number order, and number cardinality. Students will also describe their physical world by using geometric shapes and geometric vocabulary. With learning by doing, kindergarten students will touch, talk, and explore numbers as they communicate, collaborate, and develop problem solving skills.
