In math we will begin the year focusing on number recognition. Then we will learn how to count to 10, 20, 50, and finally 100! We will also have fun making many patterns and graphs. By the end of the year we will be adding and subtracting numbers to 10. When we start a new chapter in math I will send home and introduction sheet informing you about what we will be learning. Also, on our math pages their are at home activities if you would like to help your child at home also. Math is a lot of fun in kindergarten because we get to "play" with so many manipultives.
