™ : Numbers & Math GET SET FOR SCHOOL

Our award-winning Get Set for School Pre-K curriculum uses hands-on activities, music, and child friendly teaching strategies to help young learners get ready for kindergarten. Get Set for School is based on the most relevant research about how children learn best: • Break difficult concepts into simple tasks • Believe that every child can achieve • Use really cool materials that make children want to learn

getsetforschool.com

™ :GET Learning With Music SET FOR SCHOOL Get Set for School includes three complete programs designed to prepare children for school: Readiness & Writing, Language & Literacy, and Numbers & Math. Our developmentally appropriate programs can also complement and expand your existing Pre-K program.

Readiness & Writing Program

Our Readiness & Writing program teaches fine and gross motor skills, body awareness, crayon grasp, drawing, building, letter and number recognition, and number and capital letter formation. These are the foundation skills that children need to develop other school skills including handwriting, reading, writing, and listening to the teacher.

Language & Literacy Program

Children begin developing language skills from the moment they are born. Our Language & Literacy program makes language lessons come alive. Children enjoy learning syllables, names and sounds of letters, words linked to content, new words in spoken languages, words that describe, responding to simple questions, having discussions, and sharing ideas.

Numbers & Math Program

Research shows that children are ready to learn number concepts at an early age. We demystify numbers and make math relevant and fun for children. Our Numbers & Math program teaches counting, comparisons, spatial awareness, patterning, sequencing, matching, and sorting.

GRADES: PRE-K Code: TGNM

Describe Triangles

Recognize Shapes in a Group

Simon Says Shapes

Identify Shapes in Objects

Si mon Sa y s Sha p es

Materials/Setup: • Mix & Make Shapes – 4 Large circles

Take the mystery out of math and set up your children to love math with Numbers & Math Pre-K Teacher’s Guide. The guide complements early math skills introduced in the Get Set for School activity book. Numbers & Math teaches counting, geometry and pattern concepts, measurement and time, math vocabulary, and problem solving.

Concepts become real and meaningful as children make connections to their everyday world.

Recognize Shapes in a Group

– 4 Large triangles

When children can name shapes in isolation, they are ready to name shapes within a group.

This skill requires them to recall the name and characteristic of each shape. Children must also sort that information in their minds when they look at all the shapes.

– 4 Large rectangles – 4 Large squares

Grouping: Small group (4)

English Language Learners: Preview the actions before starting the activity. Model and say the name of the movement: jump, hop, hold up your hand, tickle, sit. Children can repeat the name and imitate your movements.

Look What We're Learning Geometry

• Identify specific shapes within a group

100

Objective

Children recognize circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares within a group.

Activity

Let’s play Simon Says. Simon will tell you what to do with the shapes.

1. Spread the shapes on the ground. I will be Simon first. I’ll tell you what to do.

2. Give directions. Simon says: - Jump to a triangle.

- Put your hand on a square.

- Tickle a circle.

- Sit on a shape with four sides.

3. When they understand the activity, let a child be Simon. Play along and help if the group gets stuck.

4. Don’t try to trick the children until they can play without mistakes.

Then give a direction without saying Simon says.

Check for Understanding Have children clean up the pieces. Ask each to pick up a different shape. Do they select the right shapes?

Support: Start with two shapes. Add additional shapes when children consistently recognize the first two.
