Maths for Phebe

Phebe worked on Rod and Staff Maths Grade 1 last year, but I don't quite feel that she is entirely up for Grade 2 - just yet.   So I'm going to have her do some Singapore Maths - starting at 1A workbook 2. 

Each of the primary year books come with two text books which are filled with lessons, pictures, examples etc... and 4 workbooks. 

Here are a couple of sample pages from the text books.

If you look closely you can see little arrows with writing in it on the bottom right hand corners.  When you see these in the text books - it is usually the conclusion of the lesson and time to practice what has been taught.  So the arrows tell you what exercise to do in the workbook.

A couple of sample pages from the workbooks.

Looking forward to when school resumes. We've already had 3 weeks of holidays and I'm starting to get itchy need to do school feet.

Maths for Hannah

I've been a busy little vegemite getting everything ready for school next year.

So today I'm going to share with you what I've got lined up for Hannah ( currently 3y7m ) in the maths department for 2013.

This particular course is my most FAVORITE Grade 1 maths curriculum.

It's a two book course.  A teachers manual and other helps are also available if we ever need them.

It has 170 lessons.  We'll use our abacus a LOT.  Pretty much for every lesson.

Beautiful lessons, but we'll most likely only do a single page a day taking a couple of days to do a lesson.

Looking forward to doing show and tell as next year progresses.

Cutest Little Bird Theme

 

I found the most cutest little pack over at 3Dinosaurs for a bird theme.  Of course I'm biased because I also buy from the same graphic artist - KPM Doodles.  LOL  Anyway, Cassie actually has a LOT of packs over there and they are FREE, so I had a field day over there one day~!!  Then I had even more fun printing and laminating some of it up for our centers.

 

Hannah had some great fun with these. 

 

 

Educational as well as fun.

 

 

Making patterns. 

 

 

 

 

There are a HEAP of acitivities in these packs.  Count and clip cards, sequencing, writing, all sorts of things.  Just click the pictures to go to Cassies blog and pick these awesome packs up!!

 

Great for your Preschooler - Kindergarten leveled child/ren.

Write the Room

 

Here's another something NEW that we got to try out this week for the first time.  I keep picking up all these cool ideas and worksheets and stuff.  :o)  I love Teacher BLOGS and PINTEREST.

 

Write the Room - Farm themed.

 

I printed off my pages and cut up the little cards.  Then I put them into 5 little groups and set up them up around the room.  Then I called the two girlies and explained HOW to write the room.  Then I left them have a go.

 

 

Chloe loved the activity.  Next time I will ask her to aim for neatness and accuracy as well though.

Phebe liked the idea of the activity, but needed a little help.  I am hoping that next time she will be able to do the activity without any help.  :o)

 

 

If you wanted to use this activity in a center more than once I also highly recommend coloring and laminating the cards before you use them.

 

Don't forget to pick up my Zoo Write the Room FREEBIE and try it out.

Thanksgiving Foldables

 

I was wandering around the house going to myself, "What can I do?".   The baby was asleep, the little boys were out on the farm, and all the other children were busy.

 

So I flicked through some printed worksheets that I had on my kitchenette and noticed that I had some from my thanksgiving pack, then I thought I'd do up a quick sample as an idea of what one can do with it.  :o)

 

So I cut it out and folded it. Then I colored it. :o)

 

 

Then I wrote my own little HFW sentences.  Trying to be realistic as to what a Kindergarten to Grade 2 student might write.

 

 

I did it like this so that when one opened it up you would read about the picture that you could still see.

 

 

Then I found another foldable and added that to my background page as well, so you could see how the two of them would fit side by side.

 

 

Anyway, I hope this gives you some additional ideas as to what to use these pages for.  :o)

Stamp the Number

 

One of my aussie bloggy friends made an awesome FREE stamping worksheet.  I couldn't wait to try it out because it really did look like heaps of fun.

 

So I printed off 2 copies, one for Chloe and one for Phebe.  I prepped by pulling out 3 different colored ink pads and put the numbers on them.

 

Then I called the girls to come and try it out.  This is the first 'stamp the number' worksheet that the girls have ever done.

 

Chloe. 

 

Phebe.

 

 

Both girls LOVED it.

 

Don't forget to visit Miss Galvin Learns to try it out too~!!
