Week 1 / Summer Calendar

Students in kindergarten used calendar skills daily. Students began each day by putting the appropriate number for the day of the month on the calendar and discussing what today, yesterday, and tomorrow are. There are calendars at the end of the packet to use if you wish. 1. Record special summer events on a calendar with your child. 2. Go through a calendar. Help your child to find or circle the month on each page. 3. Look at each summer month of the calendar. Mark the

holidays and special days your family celebrates. Draw a picture in the box for each holiday your family celebrates. (Example: Fireworks for July 4th, birthday cake, etc.) Count the number of days until a special day or holiday.

4. Each day of summer vacation, ask your child to put an X on

that day in the morning. Talk about what day it is today, what day it was yesterday, and what day it will be tomorrow.

5. Practice saying the days of the week in order starting with

Wednesday. 6. Mark the first day of school on your calendar. Count how

many days there are left until the first day of school.

Week 2 / Numeration (Numbers and Place Value) Students in kindergarten learned to count objects to 20, group and count objects into sets and order sets of objects (20 to 1 and 1 to 20). They practiced recognizing, reading, ordering numerals, and matching numerals to the corresponding set. They also worked on comparing sets (which has more or less) and making two unequal sets equal by moving, adding, or taking away objects. 1. Count the objects in each set and circle the number to show the amount.

16 17 18 19 20

15 16 17 18

11 12 13 14

11 12 13 1 6

2. Count the objects in the sets. Write the number of objects in each set

on the line below the set. Color 5 objects in each set.

3. In each square, draw objects to match each numeral.

13 18 15

Color the square that has the most objects blue and color the square that has the least objects green. 4. Practice writing your numbers 1 to 20 5. In the car, make a list of colors. Put a tally mark next to each color when you find a car that is

that color. Count the tally marks. Discuss which has the most, least, same number, etc. 6. Do the above activity again, looking for types of vehicles (such as trucks, cars, and buses). 7. At the beach collect many shells. Sort them into different groups (such as by size, by kind, by

color, by shape, etc.). After you have sorted them one way, use the same shells and sort them a different way. Write the number of each group in the sand. You can replace collecting rocks in the park if you don’t go to the beach.

8. Count the number of people in a restaurant, at the park, at the pool, etc. 9. Make a collection of objects: coins, rocks, seeds, etc. Put them into groups of tens. Count the

groups of tens. 10. Mental math. Choose a number and start counting. When you stop counting your child has

to say the number that comes next. Examples: 1, 2, 3, , 5, 6, 7, or 38, 39, , 41, 42, 11. Practice counting to 100. Practice counting by tens to 100. 12. Practice writing numbers 1 to 100. ____13. Play a guessing game with numbers. I am thinking of a number that is more than (name a certain number) and less than a certain number Week 3 / Addition and Subtraction Students in kindergarten learned the beginning concept of addition using hands-on materials. They experimented with arranging a set of objects into subgroups. They also worked on constructing a set with one more when shown a set of objects. Students then practiced counting the number of objects in two separate sets, put the sets together, and named the number of objects in the combined set. 1. Count the number in the first set. In the square, draw a set with one more. Write the

number of objects you drew in the set on the line.

2. Count the number of objects in each set. In the square, draw a picture of both sets combined. Write the total number of objects on the line.

total = total = . 3. Practice rolling two dice. Count how many dots there are all together. 4. Mental math (math without paper). In the car, do simple addition and

subtraction problems: 2 plus 1, 2 plus 2, etc. 5. Help prepare drinks for your family. Put the same number of ice cubes

in each glass. How many ice cubes were used all together? 6. Solve the following addition problems (use counters if needed). 3 + 2 = 5 + 5 = 4 + 1 =

2 + 5 = 1 + 3 =

7. Solve the following subtraction problems (use counters if needed). 5 – 3 = 4 – 0 = 6 – 3 = 7 – 2 = 9 – 4 = ___ 8. Draw a picture and write for each addition and subtraction problem in

numbers 6 and 7.

Week 4 /Story Problems ___ 1. There were 5 kids playing at the pool. 4 more came and joined them. How many kids are playing at the pool now?
