I've always had to teach addition and subtraction, but never had to have them master FACTS- just the idea. So, I've searched the internet for fast fact sheets for Kinder. I've come up empty handed, so I thought- I'll make my own!
The standard says to add and subtract within 5 (the answer is 5 or less) or 10 in the 3rd and 4th quarter. I can find Fast Facts that are +1s, +2s, +3s, but never within 5 or 10. Am I making any sense? I feel like it's a lot of "Who's On First, What's on Second..."
ANYWAY :) Here's what I made.
For Fast Facts +0 (within 5) click HERE.
Once my kids complete a Fast Fact, they get a sticker on the "Master Mathematician" chart. They are super excited about it.
They first have to master addition and subtraction within 5... and then a jumble of addition and subtraction facts... once all that is mastered, then I get out the addition and subtraction within 10 fast facts.
I have the whole set, if you are interested, leave me your e-mail address and I'll send them your way. It was too much to put on the blog :)
I wanted to put cute little graphics on my fast facts, but I'm so intimidated by all the copyright laws... anyone want to clue me in on which graphics are easiest to share without the CP {Copyright Police} coming after you??? Which graphics do you use? I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Lettering Delights, but they are copyright protected- no sharing! :)
Don't forget to leave me some comments! (and I wouldn't be mad at you if you followed me!)

Awwww, thanks for your sweet comment. Okay, I have a question for you {I should probably know the answer}. Michigan is adopting the Common Core and my district is in the process of tweaking things. Okay, so here comes the dumb question that I think I probably know the answer to. Since is COMMON core...is what you do going to be exactly the same for what my kindergarten teachers do? Cuz WOW, I can't imagine my incoming firsties being FLUENT to 10...I don't know how exactly I feel about that{talk about pressure} but it sure would make MY life easier. Then again, I'm going to have to move even BIGGER mountains when the come to me...right?!? OY.

Holly- I'm so sorry to mislead you! I mistyped- Kinders only need to be FLUENT up to 5... but they need practice adding up to 10. Actual standard is to find 2 numbers that add up to 10, or what number plus 3 equals 10. Sorry about the mis-info- I should proofread a little closer before I publish my blog! BUT, with that said, Common Core has really high standards! We started Base 10 in the first quarter!! I'd love to hear how your district is adjusting when it starts.

I responded on my blog - but I'm not sure you'll see it, so I'm responding here too. I think I heard somewhere that the threaded comments don't work on every blog template. I followed the directions found here from Kristen over at Ladybug's Teacher Files...here's the link to the tutorial...

The fact sheets are a great idea. I live in Puerto Rico, although the Dep of Educ has not decided about the CCSS; books used in the private school system are already alligned to the common core so we have to used them no matter what. If you can, please send me the other fact sheets for kinder that you made at jmaldonado38@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks,Jacqueline
