6 (SIX) ANIMALS WERE DRINKING FROM THE WATERING HOLE…

AND 4 (FOUR) MORE ANIMALS JOINED THEM. HOW MANY ANIMALS DO WE HAVE ALL TOGETHER?

QUESTION

6 (six) animals were drinking from the watering hole and 4 (four) more animals joined them. How many animals do we have all together?

ANSWER……10 (TEN)

EACH BABY ELEPHANT AND BABY LION IS WORTH A PENNY(ONE CENT)

THE MOMS AND DADS ARE WORTH FIVE CENTS (NICKEL). HOW MUCH ARE MY ANIMALS WORTH?

HINT… USE THE 10 FRAME TO PLACE THE MONEY AND BE SURE TO TRADE WHEN YOU CAN.

QUESTION

Each baby elephant and baby lion is worth a penny(one cent). The moms and dads are worth five cents (nickel). How much are my animals worth?

ANSWER

51 cents

THERE ARE 12 ANIMALS AT THE WATERING HOLE.

AND 5 LEAVE TO BE IN THE SHADE. HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE LEFT AT THE WATERING HOLE?

QUESTION

There are 12 (twelve) animals at the watering hole. And 5 (five) leave to be in the shade. How many animals are left at the watering hole?

ANSWER….7 (SEVEN)

THERE WERE 15 (FIFTEEN) ANIMALS AT THE WATERING HOLE.

5 (FIVE) ANIMALS LEAVE THE WATERING HOLE TO SIT IN THE SHADE. HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE LEFT?

5 (FIVE) MORE ANIMALS LEAVE THE WATERING HOLE TO SIT IN THE SHADE. HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE LEFT?

5 (FIVE) MORE ANIMALS LEAVE THE WATERING HOLE TO SIT IN THE SHADE. HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE LEFT?

AFTER ALL OF THE ANIMALS LEAVE THE WATERING HOLE HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE LEFT AT THE WATERING HOLE? HOW MANY GROUPS OF ANIMALS LEFT?

HINT

Put all of the animals in the 10 (ten) frame and then continue the problem.

QUESTION

There were 25 (twenty five) animals at the watering hole. 5 (five) more animals leave the watering hole to sit in the shade. How many animals are left? Then 5 (five) more animals leave the watering hole to sit in the shade. How many animals are left? Then another 5 (five) more animals leave the watering hole to sit in the shade. How many animals are left? How many animals are left?

ANSWER…0 (ZERO)

GEORGIA PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

MKN1. Students will connect numerals to the quantities they represent. a. Count a number of objects up to 30. b. Produce models for number words through ten. c. Write numerals through 20 to label sets. g. Use informal strategies to share objects equally (divide) between two to three

people or sets. h. Identify coins by name and value (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter). i. Count out pennies to buy items that together cost less than 30 cents. j. Make fair trades using combinations involving pennies and nickels and pennies

and dimes. MKN2. Students will use representations to model addition and

subtraction. a. Use counting strategies to find out how many items are in two sets when they are

combined, separated, or compared. c. Use objects, pictures, numbers, or words to create, solve and explain story

problems (combining, separating, or comparing) for two numbers that are each less than 10.

HOW WILL I ASSESS THE STUDENTS?

Because this is a kindergarten class this photography power point will be done during math centers. I will use a checklist to keep track of the students understanding of each of the problems. The students will also be given a sheet to record their answers as we go along.
