Numeracy Activities/Lessons
The pictures below are some visual representations of how we met the Overall and Specific Expectations of the Kindergarten Program under the Demonstrating Mathematics and Literacy Behaviours frame
16.0 measure, using non-standard units of the same size, and compare objects, materials, and spaces in terms of their length, mass, capacity, area, and temperature, and explore ways of measuring the passage of time, through inquiry and play-based learning
16.1 select an attribute to measure, determine an appropriate non-standard unit of measure, and measure and compare two or more objects
15.0 demonstrate an understanding of numbers, using concrete materials to explore and investigate counting, quantity, and number relationships
15.1 investigate the idea that a number’s position in the counting sequence determines its magnitude
15.4 demonstrate an understanding of the counting concepts of stable order (i.e., the concept that the counting sequence is always the same and of order irrelevance
15.5 subitize quantities to 5 without having to count, using a variety of materials and strategies
16.2 investigate strategies and materials used when measuring with non-standard units of measure
19.1 ask questions that can be answered through data collection, collect data, and make representations of their observations, using graphs
20.5 investigate and describe how objects can be collected, grouped, and organized according to similarities and differences
1.5 use language in various contexts to connect new experiences with what they already know
1.6 use language to communicate their thinking, reflect, and solve problems
1.7 use specialized vocabulary for a variety of purposes
