Olivia Getek / Kindergarten Math / Fall 2022

TOPIC: Sorting, Counting, and Adding

OBJECTIVES:

- Given a pack of colored skittles, TSWBAT sort based on color, count the amount of each color,

and add colors together with a partner.

STANDARDS:

- 2.l K.A.2 Apply one-to-one correspondence to the number of objects

- 2.2 K.A.1 Extend the concepts of putting together and taking apart to add and subtract within 10.

TEACHING PROCEDURES:

1. Anticipatory set

 Have students sit at their desks and pay attention to the front of the classroom

 Show the students the bag of skittles and ask what the think we will be doing? How do

skittles relate to math?

 Tell students we will be counting, sorting, and adding skittles

2. Development

 Pass out the skittle packs and the worksheets.

3. Guided practice

 Ask students to take out all the red skittles in their bag and place them in the first square.

Say that it is okay if they do not have any red skittles (they would just put a zero)

 Once all students have grouped all the red skittles, they will count how many there are

and write the number down in the circle within the square.

 Have students put their pencils down and put both hands on their head when they are

finished.
 Repeat all these same steps with each of the colors until the bag is empty.

4. Independent practice

 The students will be grouped with their partner sitting next to them.

 They will work together to add each of their colors, starting with red and them repeating

the same thing with each color.

5. Review

 Ask the students to put their thumbs up, down, or in the middle depending on how much

they struggled during this activity.

MATERIALS:

- Skittles

- Plastic bags

- Counting Skittles Worksheet

- Pencils

ADAPTIONS:

- The teacher will give one-on-one attention to students who need extra help.

EVALUATION:

 Formative: The teacher will walk around the room to make sure that all the students are counting

and sorting correctly. Once the students are grouped up into partners to add their skittles together,

the teacher will make sure that both partners are equally doing as much work.

 Summative: None

REFLECTION:
1. Student mastery/performance: The students were engaged and understood the directions that were

given. The students needed little to no help with sorting and counting. (It is expected that they

needed help adding.)

2. Teacher success and changes for future lessons: The teacher was able to keep the student on task

and incorporate prior knowledge into the lesson.
