Compare numbers of objects. Determine whether the number of objects in one group is more or less than the number of objects in another group. Before a student can begin to compare groups of numbers, he or she needs to understand the concept of more/less. One of the most effective ways to do this is for the student to actually "see" the concept. Show more/less in visual form, throw in some candy and an organizer, and you have "More or Less: Candy Count." Differentiate your lessons with these cou

K.MD.1-2: Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Directly compare two objects to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. Students learn to distinguish between light and heavy objects. Place objects on a virtual scale and answer comparison questions. ("Which object is heavier? Which object is lighter?")

A fun math activity designed for visual learners. Teach doubles using five and ten frame addition -- and butterfly wings! One of my favorite lessons ever. It was one of those magical "I get it" moments when my kindergarteners learned the concept of doubles. Mini-Lesson: After a student volunteer put dabs of colorful paint on one side of the butterfly's wings, the class waited as I slowly (and dramatically, of course) folded the butterfly in half. I had to laugh at the gasps and cheers when I

NUMBER FRAMES: Counting by Tens (1-150) When I taught kindergarten, I had an old hundreds chart that needed a little “repurposing.” Rather than discard it, I decided to cut the chart into strips of ten, laminate, and hole punch them to make a pack of number frames. We ended up using those frames almost every day. The hundreds chart was a little too much information for some of my struggling students. The number strips presented the numbers in "chunks" and helped make the learning process ma
