Games are used in my class to help students practice math as well as social emotional skills. All of these games have multiple uses and can be used all year by making simple adjustments to match their developing math skills. For example, in Candy Land students begin by following the color on the card and moving to the next space on the board of that color. With simple substitutions to the draw cards, I will swap out the color cards for numeral cards, where students read the number and move that many spaces ahead. Next I will create addition equations that will require them to do the addition first before moving ahead that many spaces. This differentiation allows me to have them practice the skills they need while playing a familiar game. Engagement is always highest when students are learning through play based activities. Not only are the games meeting the educational needs but they also support every students' emotional well being by letting them practice patience, following directions, being a supportive friend, and good sportsmanship. Fostering independence and teaching responsibility is another component of teaching kindergarten. I would like each child to have their own pencil pouch to keep their math manipulatives in. This includes dice, teddy bear counters, double sided marker chips, and flash cards. This simple act teaches them to take care of their materials and respect others'. It also saves valuable teaching time by allowing me to begin a lesson without having to distribute supplies.
