This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Transitional Kindergarteners are curious hands-on learners. They need repetition and lots of practice to master foundational skills like counting and number sense. Telling others what they are thinking gives them this important practice. Math can often seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! Most students are still developing a basic understanding of numbers and how they work. The biggest challenge is that numbers are an abstract concept, but kindergarteners are still concrete thinkers. They need lots of hands-on experience to help them gain a strong number sense.
By donating to this project you will help students enjoy a nice treat while also practicing their math skills in a concrete and memorable way.
Students will count cheese puffs to help develop number sense. Students will sort candies by color, organize into groups of ten, and then pattern onto an iced sugar cone for a yummy and festive decoration . They will graph the gummy bears and then use their graphs to compare quantities and explore concepts of greater than and less than. They will use the M&Ms and jelly light candies to explore concepts of addition and subtraction: I have 3 candies and my teacher gave me 4 more. How many do I have now? They will use the Pringles and cookie dippers to explore multiplicative thinking: There are 3 cups and each cup has 5 treats in it, How many chips are there altogether? They will also use the small cups and plates to sort candies by color shape, and size. The best part of these math lessons is that they will all end with a yummy treat to enjoy with a friend.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
