Kindergarten Spring Math Pictures

Screen Shot 2015-08-11 at 3.42.11 PMNow that winter is finally over, Kindergarteners at Holladay have been learning about the plants and animals of spring (SOLK.9). They’ve also been learning how to find one more or one less in math (SOLK.4b). So today students in Ms. Green’s class created spring math pictures using ABCYa!Paint. First we helped them log into Google classroom where I had posted the link to the website. Once there, I showed them how to add spring stickers or paint spring pictures like flowers or rainbows. They were instructed to only paint a small number of things. Next they saved their pictures and uploaded them to Google classroom. They also typed “one more” or “one less” with their post for their classmates to solve. Finally the students looked at each others’ pictures, counted the number of spring things, figured out one more or one less, and typed their answers in the comments. You can see their pictures and some of the comments here. UPDATE: I taught a similar lesson with Ms. Feldman’s kindergarten class at Davis. This time they used ArtPad and painted spring addition pictures. You can see those here.
