Calendar and Numeracy-What Activities Promote Conceptual Understanding: Kindergarten

Presented by: Sylvia Malo

Date: November 28, 2008

Location: Grande Centre Elementary School (5520 – 50th Avenue Cold Lake, Alberta)

About the workshop:

This workshop will provide teachers with a deeper understanding of what the changes to calendar look like in a K-1classroom and why “sorting and subitizing” are key essentials for developing number sense at this level. Teachers will examine the curricular changes and how best to apply these changes to developing number in their classrooms. Teachers will be provided with a copy of “Little Kids – Powerful Problem Solvers” (Andrews & Trafton, 2002) as part of the book study for the three sessions.

This will be part one of a three part series examining number in Kindergarten.
