Pre-K Math Curriculum

Thank you so much for joining me today for a post all about PRE-K MATH! Before I start in explaining the program… I’d love to share what fellow Pre-K teachers are saying about the program!

“Words cannot express how AMAZING this resource is! Tara has thought of and INCLUDED EVERYTHING to make learning math fun and ENGAGING for our little learners from easy to read lesson plans, HANDS-ON DIFFERENTIATED small group plans, PLAY-BASED learning center ideas (using manipulatives many of us already have in our classrooms!), MUSIC and MOVEMENT, and adorable MASCOTS for each unit that the kids will absolutely love! There are so many things included that the only trouble will be figuring out how to fit it ALL in! It is a MUST HAVE resource for Pre-K and any Kindergarten or Sped teachers that like hands-on, minds-on learning! -Nicki”

“What I love about this new PreK Math Curriculum is that Tara really thought about each and every piece of this including research and collaboration with preschool teachers to determine what would be best. At the end of the day, I appreciate that it is DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE, and PLAY BASED. I can also say, that the small group differentiation is a HUGE time saver for planning. Don’t make the mistake of NOT purchasing this curriculum…it’s bound to be a game changer for you!” -Brent

What is Pre-K Math? 

Pre-K Math units are teacher-created, kid-tested, and most importantly kid-approved! Pre-K Math takes away that monotonous way of teaching math where students sit and listen to the teacher TEACH math. Instead, Pre-K Math encourages guidance from the teacher while the students TEACH and LEARN math through hands-on and engaging math activities with their partners.

Pre-K Math units are made up of 10 instructional days each, but can be adjusted to fit your classroom needs. The units include assessment pieces as a way to ensure student growth over the unit.These are just a few highlights you’ll see using the Pre-K Math Units; kids talking about math, kids using manipulatives, activities that are fun + engaging, learning that requires critical thinking!

Pre-K Math curriculum is a 35 week math curriculum that includes lesson plans that break down a 60 minute block math time into these sections {movement, rhythm, whole-group lesson, small-group lesson and apply & practice}. The units will also include any and all cards needed to make the lessons successful! You will just need to provide the manipulatives like teddy bears or cubes!

Pre-K Math is a simple print and teach math curriculum. No more tracking down ideas, worksheets, cards, etc! I have it covered!

Pre-K Math units are teacher-created, kid-tested, and most importantly kid-approved! Pre-K Math takes away that monotonous way of teaching math where students sit and listen to the teacher TEACH math.   Instead, Pre-K Math encourages guidance from the teacher while the students TEACH and LEARN math through hands-on and engaging math activities with their partners.

Pre-K Math units are made up of 10 instructional days each, but can be adjusted to fit your classroom needs.  The units include assessment pieces as a way to ensure student growth over the unit.

These are just a few highlights you’ll see using the Pre-K Math Units:

Below is a quick overview of how each unit will be set up.  You will notice that you might see more than you can squeeze into one day.  That is okay and what is best about Pre-K Math. Pre-K Math is made with the teacher in mind, so pick and choose from the material based on students’ need.

A closer look at the unit: Within each unit of Pre-K Math you will receive 10 teaching lessons, or ten days of instruction.  Each lesson will come with a daily practice sheet as well.  Along with the lessons and practice sheets, the unit will also include any and all student cards/hands-on materials needed for the students to be successful. The lesson will also have a paired interactive notebook sheet and aligned center mat. The teacher will only need to provide the manipulatives, such as cubes or counters.

The units will also come with math talk images.  These can be printed or displayed on an interactive whiteboard.  Along with the necessary material for each week, Pre-K Math also comes with an assessment for each unit.

Below is a quick overview of how each lesson plan is set up including the math lesson breakdowns and the main headers upon the left & right sidebars. The lesson plan is broken down into five main sections: movement, rhythm, whole-group lesson, small-group lesson, and apply & practice.

Are you looking or some free preschool lesson plans? It is never too early to start planning for future lessons.

Preschool lesson plans are a great way to get your child started on all the most important learning concepts in early childhood. And a systemized curriculum is just the right way to keep learning on track throughout the year.

Everything You Want and Need to Teach Math in Preschool

Riddle me this…I mean…just imagine with me for a moment.

What if you could sit down with your coffee and do your lesson plans for preschool in under five minutes?

What if you didn’t have to rack your brain (or phone) for creative and fun activities?

What if you didn’t have to wonder if all those clever activities will meet teaching objectives?

What if the activities you did have were systematic and already in an order that is proven for the best learning experience possible?

I’ve got you covered!

You no longer need to imagine what this would be like. You can make it happen.

These Daily Lessons in Preschool Mathematics take the guesswork out of teaching.

I am so happy to reintroduce my preschool mathematics curriculum that thousands of veteran preschool teachers and experience homecoming parents are using.

I have been working on updating this preschool curriculum for the last two years. It’s been through five expert editors who have degrees in early childhood education and a large sample of real preschool teachers and homeschool moms who have been giving me constant feedback along the way.

And of course, I have been using it in my own preschool classroom.

You can grab an entire one-week sample at the end of this post, but first, let me tell you a little back story about how this preschool math curriculum came to be.

This curriculum is a digital download. No hard copy will be shipped.

The Story Behind It’s Creation

When I found out my fourth baby was due two weeks after the preschool year started, I panicked.

Having an in-home preschool, I didn’t have the option of finding a substitute while I took six weeks off for maternity leave. I needed to be in the classroom, and if I didn’t, my preschooler students were going to get short changed. And that wasn’t fair for them or their parents.

Nope. My newborn was going to have to come to class with me each day, snuggled down in a baby wrap, after a two week maternity leave.

But what in the world was I going to do about lesson planning?!

Realistically, how was I going to balance a newborn, three older children, and running a preschool? Oh, and did I mention that my third and fourth children are only 13 months apart? When I say I panicked, I mean it in every sense of the word.

I knew my time for lesson planning would vanish after the baby was born — and I wasn’t about to try fitting it in between feedings and diaper changes, carpool and PTA events, and so on.

I needed a preschool curriculum I could just open up and teach everyday.

Something that was no-prep.

Something that was still varied and would entice interest in my preschoolers.

Something that wasn’t just worksheets.

And something that was systematic and explicit in skills taught

This curriculum is a digital download. No hard copy will be shipped.

I designed and wrote this preschool mathematics curriculum during my pregnancy, so I could focus on and enjoy teaching (and not lesson planning) that fall. I’m sure you know the feeling…dreading lesson planning and then being too drained to enjoy teaching versus having them already done for you and loving the heck out of teaching preschool!

I didn’t wonder what I was going to teach after a sleepless night with a fussy baby because I had my daily lesson plans already written out. The curriculum was already there, just waiting or me to open it up each day and just teach!

I might have shown up to class with no make-up on, spit-up on my shirt and totally rocking the messy mom bun, but my preschoolers were still going to have fun learning and I didn’t have to do any extra prep! Which means, I didn’t have one more reason for sleepless nights.

I went into that year of teaching, and every year since then, with full confidence knowing that my preschoolers were going to get the very best foundation in literacy possible. I had a thorough and comprehensive curriculum follow.

Since its original edition, this curriculum has been vetted by thousands of veteran preschool teachers and experienced homeschooling parents. It is simple and easy to follow, and best of all…effective!

It is the best literacy curriculum in early childhood education!

Here’s What You Get in Daily Lessons in Preschool Mathematics Curriculum

Simply put…absolutely everything you need to effectively and easily teach preschool math concepts.

Don’t forget, your free curriculum sample is waiting for you to download from the end of this post. I’m giving you a full one-week sample of my curriculum!

This preschool curriculum takes the guesswork out of teach math skills in preschool. Just open and following the lesson plans.

My Daily Lessons in Preschool Mathematics Curriculum gives you an entire year of the following:

  • 40 weeks of targeted, skill-based activities for learning new concepts
  • 40 weeks of daily review activities
  • 40 weeks of discovery concept prompts
  • 80 hands-on activities for literacy integration
  • BONUS! 72 supporting printable math preschool centers!
Daily Lessons in Preschool Mathematics includes nine individual units.
What Jackie, a preschool teacher with 27 years teaching experience said:

Finally, a preschool math curriculum where I don’t have to do extra work!

I’ve been teaching preschool for 22 years and I have yet to find a math curriculum more complete than this one! It delivers exactly what it says it will. The daily lessons are short and developmentally appropriate, while being packed with new learning.

Each day features review activities and new concepts. The printable math centers are perfect for independent practice. My preschoolers have fun with these! But I really appreciate the literacy integration activities each week.

I am confident I am doing my best teaching with this curriculum.

Proven Preschool Activities Using a Spiraling Approach

A spiral approach presents a new math concept, provides practice, and then moves on to another skill. Each skill is systematically reviewed and revisited throughout the school year with activities that always add to prior learning.

This way your preschooler is always learning something new while practicing something learned. After all, this is how preschoolers learn best, through repeated practice and exploration!

Why preschool teachers are loving this spiraling math curriculum:

The spiraling scope and sequence makes lesson planning a breeze and keeps me from feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out what to teach and when. It’s all laid out for me! I just have to follow the lesson plans.

The daily lessons teach new concepts while also providing activities for review so my students get practice in both. I bound all the lesson plans in one book using the scope and sequence guide to place them in the right order.

Now I just open my binder and teach!

The Daily Lessons in Preschool Mathematics Curriculum targets all five math disciplines. An effective math curriculum for preschoolers includes all five disciplines in math.
What Cherri, another preschool teacher said:

The lessons couldn’t be easier to follow. The curriculum lays out exactly what to teach each day, including specific mathematical points to include during the Teach & Engage piece.

The best part is that I’m no longer wasting time piecing together activities to meet our state standards. Now I have a solid curriculum to follow.

The learning activities in this curriculum aren’t just for preschool teachers. These math activities and curriculum are perfect for preschool homeschooling, too!

What Mariana, a science teacher turned homeschooling mama said:

As a science teacher turned stay-at-home mom to twin 4-year-olds, I felt out of my depth when I started homeschooling. I was overwhelmed, because I had no idea where to start.

Then I found this curriculum. It is so thorough and really fun because of all the different ways to teach the content!

With relatively few items to purchase to complete the lessons throughout the year, it was so easy for me to sit down and plan out what my kids would be doing each day for math. My kids love our “math time” each day, and often ask to play with the materials outside of formal homeschool hours.

Imagine the Possibilities…

Ok…let’s loop back up…remember that cup of coffee?

What if you could sit down with your coffee and do your lesson plans for preschool in under five minutes?

What if you could use engaging activities created by an expert?

What if those activities were systematic in skill progression and proven to be effective?

Guess what — You can!

All that is possible with my Daily Lessons in Preschool Mathematics Curriculum.

Here’s a sneak peak of what a lesson in the Comparing & Sorting unit looks like:

Program "FEMP for preschoolers"

Explanatory note

Explanatory note: goals, objectives, principles and approaches to the formation of the Program

external environment. Recently, there has been an active introduction of the latest technologies, developments, advanced teaching methods in elementary school. Do not lag behind the school and preschool education. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation approved the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education[1].

The standard provides that the content of the main educational program of any kindergarten in the Russian Federation - state, municipal or private - should ensure the development of the personality, motivation and abilities of children in various activities and cover the following structural units representing certain areas of development and education of children ( educational areas):

social and communicative development;

cognitive development;

speech development;

artistic and aesthetic development;

physical development[2].

Thus, the educational area "Cognitive Development" is an integral and integral part of any general education program. Cognitive development, among other things, involves the development of children's interests, curiosity and cognitive motivation; the formation of cognitive actions, the formation of consciousness; development of imagination and creative activity; the formation of primary ideas about oneself, other people, objects of the surrounding world, about the properties and relations of objects of the surrounding world (shape, color, size, material, sound, rhythm, tempo, quantity, number, part and whole, space and time, movement and rest , causes and effects, etc.).

The block for the development of elementary mathematical concepts in the educational field "Cognitive development" provides for the development of sensory and intellectual abilities of preschoolers.

Sensory development is based on sensory perception obtained from experience and observation. Sensory processes are the original source of knowledge. Sensory perception forms representations - images of objects, qualitative and quantitative signs, their properties. The more diverse all these representations are, the easier it will be to form the intellectual cognitive abilities of children, which are based on thinking - the highest form of human creative activity.

The development of cognitive abilities will ensure the effectiveness of the cognition process based on the available educational material.

The material used in the program "FEMP for preschoolers" is a complex system of games, tasks, exercises, performances, olympiads, physical education sessions and ensures the constant involvement of children in the process of activating cognitive processes. The formation of cognitive processes will ensure the development of cognitive research and productive activities, will contribute to the formation of elementary mathematical concepts and the formation of a holistic picture of the world, expanding the horizons of children (Scheme 1).

It is important to note that the Program's goal is not so much the development of children's knowledge and skills, but their harmonious development, taking into account the need to focus on priority tasks of educational development. These tasks are aimed at the development, upbringing and education of children who will enter an independent "adult" professional life in 15-20 years. At the same time, there is no (and cannot be, with such rapid changes in our life today) a clearly and reliably described model of the future for which we strive to prepare the child. In the situation of uncertainty that characterizes our time, it is not the amount of basic knowledge that becomes relevant, but the ability of a person to self-educate, to re-educate throughout life, acquiring new competencies necessary for success in any activity. Consequently, our - teachers and parents - task at present is to create in children the base that forms the need for constant self-development, primarily in the development of cognitive abilities.

The methodological recommendations describe in detail the goals and objectives of each lesson and each didactic game, scenarios for their implementation, ways to use demonstration and handout materials.

The number of didactic games presented in the guidelines, as a rule, is somewhat redundant. Some of them can be moved to the second half of the day. Such “excessive” at first glance, the content of the classes was not chosen by chance - this allows the teacher to work in a creative mode, select didactic games, taking into account the individual characteristics and level of development of children.

Great help in organizing the educational process is provided by demonstration and handout didactic materials created for each lesson. They are an important addition to the developing subject-spatial environment that needs to be created for preschool children when organizing the educational process.

A special place in the program-methodical set "Igralochka" is occupied by workbooks for the child.

At a younger preschool age (in the course "Player", parts 1 and 2), the use of notebooks during classes is NOT supposed - they are intended for joint activities of children with parents or individual work of a teacher with a child.

In no case should work in notebooks be imposed on parents as “homework”. Notebooks are designed to help parents learn how to communicate and interact with their children in a collaborative learning activity. Working in a notebook at home, on the one hand, allows the child to consolidate the topic covered, and on the other hand, it acquaints parents with what their child is doing in kindergarten, and thus encourages parents to become active participants in the educational process. The appendices to the notebooks contain detailed recommendations for parents that will help them competently build a conversation with their child and turn the activity of completing assignments in notebooks into an exciting and interesting event.

At senior preschool age, workbooks (in the course "Game - a step to school", parts 3 and 4) are used both in the classroom and in collaboration with parents. It is important to emphasize that work in a notebook takes no more than 5–7 minutes of a lesson and in no case excludes other forms of work (didactic games, solving problem situations, modeling, experimenting, etc.). By independently performing some tasks in the classroom, children gradually become familiar with the forms of work that await them at school. The content of the classes includes tasks for the so-called trial actions, in which difficulties are expected for children. Children perform these tasks on separate sheets attached to workbooks.

It should also be borne in mind that the main component of the partial educational program "Player", consisting of four consecutive parts and including the courses "Player" (parts 1, 2) and "Player - a step to school" (parts 3, 4), fully reflects the content of the program and does not require additional use of the pre-school kit.

Variable (pre-school) methodological kit

(for children included in the development of program at senior preschool age)

The pre-school methodological set is represented by the course “One is a step, two is a step ...” (Peterson L.G., Kholina N.P.).

This methodological kit was developed to prepare children for school and can be used in classes in short-stay groups (pre-school training groups at schools, child development centers, gymnasiums, on the basis of additional education organizations, etc.), as well as in individual work with older children. preschool, with whom they did not study at the younger preschool age at the course "Player".

COURSE "ONE - STEP, TWO - STEP ..."

(preschool)


1) Guidelines

- Peterson L.G., Kholina N.P. One is a step, two is a step... A practical course in mathematics for preschoolers. Guidelines. — M.: BINOM. Knowledge Lab, 2018.

2) Workbooks for child

- Peterson L.G., Kholina N.P. One - a step, two - a step ... Mathematics for children 5–6 years old / Part 1. - M .: BINOM. Knowledge Lab, 2018.

- Peterson L.G., Kholina N.P. One - a step, two - a step ... Mathematics for children 6–7 years old / Part 2. - M .: BINOM. Knowledge Lab, 2018.

The methodological recommendations for the series of courses "Player" present detailed scenarios of classes that involve children in cognitive activities, as well as describe in detail how to use demonstration and handout materials. The methodological recommendations for the course “One is a step, two is a step ...” describe methods for introducing children to basic mathematical concepts, however, the options proposed in the manual are not class notes.

In both cases, mathematical representations are formed in children from the standpoint of continuity with teaching mathematics in elementary school according to any program (including the author's mathematics course for elementary school L. G. Peterson). When working on the course "Player", due to the implementation of the activity approach, the personal qualities of children develop more systematically, which will help them to study successfully at school.

It is assumed that the educator, depending on the specific situation (the level of preparation of children, their number in the group, organizational conditions, the number of hours allotted for training, their own pedagogical priorities, etc.), will select the most suitable option for his children and ensure the implementation of the set educational tasks by means adequate for preschool children.

The manuals are designed for children of senior preschool age and help in a fun way, through favorite fairy tales, games, cognitive research and creative activities to get acquainted with mathematics.

These notebooks successfully complement the mathematics course for preschoolers "Player - a step to school" (authors L.G. Peterson, E. E. Kochemasova) for children 5-7 years old and allow you to systematically train children's skills to apply generalized methods for solving various kinds of mathematical problems . Interesting, non-standard tasks help to form children's interest in mathematics; develop abstract thinking, the ability to analyze, compare, generalize, draw conclusions.

They are recommended to a wide range of specialists (kindergarten teachers, teachers of additional education, tutors), as well as parents. Notebooks can be used in individual and group work with children both in educational institutions and in home schooling.
