Kindergarten Invitations for Learning

Kindergarten Math NK.4

Credit goes to SPARKLEBOX (free printables) for the picture of the pails.
"You and a friend are at the beach collecting rocks.Together you collect 8 rocks in all. How many rocks did each of you collect?"
As you can see in this picture, the students just 'built' their new combination to collect the 8 rocks. The students each recorded their work using pictures and numbers on their two part math mat. Student 'A' has recorded the numeral zero (0) on one side and has then started to represent the 8 rocks on the other side. It is important to note that the student has represented the numberal 0 and not a rock on the one side of the math mat. Student 'B' also recorded in her math mat booklet. They then worked together to find a new or different way to collect all 8 rocks.
How many different ways can you represent 8?

I will be including the assessment and entire lesson very soon!
I am going to learn how put PDF documents onto my blog. I plan on having a seperate page for each grade K-4.I will also have a reflective piece from my first year as a Math Coach.
