One of the things I do to determine the quality of a curriculum is to review the actual content the curriculum will include. This is the content card I developed for the common core’s DRAFT grade-level kindergarten standards that deal with counting. I’ve also reviewed the the corresponding standards for the State of Michigan and the Commonwealth of Virginia. See what you think! DOWNLOAD THE CONTENT CARDS.

Content Cards – Money, Money, Money
1.There is a front and back side to this content card. Even at the third-grade level, there’s a lot of information for students to learn.
2.Use this as a study card for students. But remember that any time you have a visual for students, you want to make sure to use it as a teaching tool. I know you know this, but don’t focus on all of the parts at once. Draw the attention of your students to the card as you teach the different parts in your lessons.
3.Show students how to use a piece of paper to cover the parts of the chart you’re not working with.

Word Walls
There’s a lot of information related to the use of word walls – it’s one of those topics where you can never have enough ideas. I’ve included some of my own in an eight page downloadable handout. Check it out to see if there’s a new idea or two for you to use. In this piece, I focus on word walls for MATHEMATICS.
Math Operations Chart
This is a Math Operations Chart you may want to use to help students learn key vocabulary related to basic math operations.
I also designed a brief teacher’s sheet with notes to go along with this. The teacher’s sheet has questions you can use with students to help them learn to read and use the chart.
