Kindergarten Math Curriculum

Saxon math programs produce confident students who are not only able to correctly compute, but also to apply concepts to new situations. These materials gently develop concepts, and the practice of th

Horizons Math Kindergarten builds the foundation for the method of study that is used all the way through the Horizons Math program. Every concept follows a deliberate pattern of introduction and gradual development. Each lesson begins with a new concept or an expansion of a previously covered concept. This introduction starts a cycle of repetition and review that students will experience as they work through the lessons. Horizons Math Kindergarten lays a foundation for order and exactness. The daily practice in the student books teaches the recognition and printing of the numerals 0 to 100. Simple addition and subtraction from 0 to 10 are taught. the addition-subtraction concept is extended through 99 with the aid of counters and the number line. Counting through 100 is presented by 1's, 10's, 5's, 2's, 3's, and 4's. Principles of place value, measurement, calendar use, telling time, graphing, comparisons, and money concepts are also introduced.

The activities in this book are designed to teach different ways of representing equal values. All the activities support current mathematics standards. As children engage in these activities, they will model equal values using the frog counters and a simple balance. They will develop the understanding that equal values can be shown in different ways and that the order of numbers does not affect the sum. The activities will help children think flexibly about numbers and will help build a foundation for understanding variables and equations when they encounter formal algebra instruction in later years

The activities in this book are designed to teach addition and subtraction concepts using concrete objects. Children use the frog counters to act out situations that require combining groups to add or taking away parts of a larger group to subtract. They begin to connect the action of addition or subtracting to the words and symbols used for the operations. They write simple addition and subtraction sentences. All the activities support current mathematics standards

Here's a fun way for your students to explore algebraic thinking. They will use Funtastic Frogs to model number relationships, use patterns to make generalizations, find unknown numbers, and write equations. Along the way, they will use t-charts, Venn diagrams, and tables. Your students will love solving problems this way! This book is perfect for learning center, large or small groups, or for individual use.

Here's a fun way for your students to explore addition and subtraction and learn place value. They will use Funtastic Frogs to play each of these simple, but powerful, skill-building games. Each game is easy to learn and works well in a learning center or with small groups. This approach is excellent for mastering basic facts. Your students will love learning about addition and subtraction this way. These activities are perfect for learning centers, large or small groups, or for individual use.

The activities in this book are designed to teach strategies for mental computation of addition and subtraction. These strategies should be taught after children have learned addition and subtraction, but before they have mastered the facts. Each strategy
