California Preschool Foundations for Mathematics

Next Steps

Activity 1: Horse Trading

Complete the problem individually,

on your own.

In your table group, share your

answer and explain your thinking.

Discuss.

Next Steps

Components of a Balanced Early Math Program

Computational and Procedural Skills “How” the

Math Works

Conceptual Understanding “Why” the Math

works

Problems Solving

“where” the Math works

So….. Where is Math in Early Childhood Settings?

California Preschool Foundations in Mathematics

Number Sense

Understand numbers and quantities

Recite numbers

Recognize some written numerals

Subitize

Count using one-to-one correspondence

Understand number relationships and operations

Compare groups of objects

Understand simple addition and subtraction problems


Number Sense


Number Sense: Subitize


Algebra and Functions

Sort and classify objects by one or

more attributes

Understand simple, repeating patterns:

AB patterns

ABC patterns

Algebra and Functions:

Sorting and classifying objects by one attribute


Algebra and Functions: Patterns


Measurement

Comparing, ordering, and measuring

objects by length, weight, or capacity

Ordering objects by size

Measurement:

Measuring objects by length

Measurement:

Ordering objects by length

Measurement:

Ordering objects by size


Geometry

Identify and use shapes

Identify, describe, and construct a variety of shapes

Combine shapes to create a picture or design

Understand positions in space

in/on/under up/down

beside/ between front/behind

inside/outside

Geometry:

Combine shapes to create a picture or design


Mathematical Reasoning

Use of mathematical thinking to solve

problems

Mathematical Reasoning:

Children adjust the height and angle of

the blocks to create a ramp that works.

Mathematical Reasoning:

“How can we divide the magic charms so

that all four of us have the same amount?”

Activity #2: Math Stations

As a table group, rotate among three stations. Stay in your color group.

At each station, complete the activity to investigate the California Preschool Foundations in Mathematics

Next Steps

High Quality Block Areas

300+ unit blocks that are organized by shape

Rich props that support in-depth play:

- Peer people props

- Vehicles in a numbered parking lot

- Natural materials

Literacy Props:

- Books

- Writing Kit

Blocks are organized and labeled

Soft Materials with Blocks


Stage 1:

Banging, mouthing,

dropping blocks

Stage 2:

Dumping and Carrying

Stage 3: Building Begins

Stacking blocks vertically or horizontally

Stage 4:

Aligning blocks to make roads

Stage 5: Bridging

Stage 6: Enclosures

Stage 7:

Building with symmetry, patterns

Stage 8:

Building Structures and Naming Them

“Spiderman’s fort”

Stage 8:

Building Structures and Naming Them

“This is a house for Barbie and me.”

Stage 9: Buildings that reproduce or

symbolize actual structures

“I built the Golden Gate Bridge.”



“We did it…a house!”



“This is the building where my mommy works.”

Activity #3: Stages of Block Play

With a partner, discuss each block structure on your handout.

Which stage of block play is it an example of? Write the number of the stage in each circle.

15 minute break

Welcome



Facilitating Math Learning through Blocks utilizing…

CLASS Language Modeling strategies



Next Steps

Interactions and Effective Teaching

The CLASS™

lens organizes effective classroom interactions into three broad categories or domains.

CLASSROOM

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION

INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT

What Is Instructional Support?

Instructional Support

Concept Development

Quality of Feedback

Language Modeling

Children Need Language Modeling The 30 million word gap

0 Vocabulary a child uses at 3 is predictive of language skills at age 9, and directly predictive of reading comprehension

0 Vocabulary of 3 year old is 1000 words 0 Trends in amount of talk, vocabulary growth,

systems of interaction using language is well-established by age 3

0 Words heard by 3 year olds: professional families 215,000 working class families 125,000 families on welfare 62,000 Hart and Risley, 2003

Language Modeling Strategies

Self Talk and Parallel Talk

Repetition and Extension

Open-Ended Questions

Feedback Loops

Advanced Language

Activity #4

Facilitating Math Learning through Blocks using…


CLASS Language Modeling Strategies, and…


Activity #4: Instructions

1. One participant role plays being a child building with blocks. Follow directions on the child’s role play sheet.

2. Select a facilitator for your table.

3. Table participants observe child playing with blocks.

4. Discuss and decide on the child’s stage of block play.

5. Discuss and decide on the child’s language level and the CLASS language modeling strategy to use.

6. Take turns interacting with this child focusing on one of the Foundations listed.

7. Continue until table participants have used all five of the Foundations listed.

Optional Practicum: Implement a focused exploration of towers
