Welcome to Mrs. Sklar's Kindergarten Classroom

Welcome to the Math Program at Carden Conejo School!

We use the Singapore Math series of books that are aligned with the California State Math Standards. For more specific information, click on the tabs above for each grade level to see which concepts are covered in different grade levels.

I teach Kindergarten Math here at Carden Conejo and also am the aide in 4th and 5th math ckass. I have taught Singapore Math is a dynamic and exciting program. The textbooks are sequential, and concepts build upon previously learned skills and concepts. Students move from concrete, hands-on manipulatives to pictorial representations to the abstract. Students employ a variety of bar models to help them solve word problems, building logic and reasoning skills as we go.

In kindergarten, we help children develop a strong number sense, which is the ability to understand the relationship between numbers and quantities—specifically that a set of objects has the same number of objects regardless of position or arrangement of the objects.Children will be able to compare two or more sets of objects (up to 10 objects in each group), and identify which set is equal to, more than or less than the other. Children are taught to count, recognize, represent, name and order objects up to 30. Children will be introduced to the numbers from 0 through 100.Children are taught to understand and describe simple addition and subtraction concepts by using concrete objects to determine the answers. Children are taught estimation strategies in computation and problem solving involving numbers using the ones and 10s place. Children learn to identify, sort and classify objects by attribute, and identify objects that do not belong to a particular group. For example, children will be able to tell green balls belong in one group and red balls belong in another.Children learn objects have properties such as length, weight and capacity, and that comparisons may be made by referring to those properties. For example, identifying which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier or holds more.Children will be able to demonstrate an understanding of time, including morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomorrow, weeks and years. They will be introduced to the calendar and the clock. Children will be able to name the days of the week, and will learn to identify the time, to the nearest hour, for everyday events such as recess at 10 o’clock a.m.Multiplying is introduced by orally counting by 2s, 5s and 10s.

Dear students & parents,

I’ve created this website so we can all keep connected and on the same page and in constant communication. Please reach out with questions and/or needs!

From September to November, we will be focusing on matching and sorting activities that involve numbers 1 to 10. These activities are designed to help improve your cognitive skills and enhance your ability to recognize patterns. Join us and let's have fun while learning!

From March to April, our focus is on length, size, and weight.

During the winter months, we will be exploring beauty of order, shapes, and patterns. Join us on this journey as we discover the art in the world around us.

For May and June, our focus for these months will be on capacity and comparing sets. We have designed our lessons to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that your child will have a fun and enriching learning experience. Join us as we finish out the school year strong!"
