Equipped with hands-on tools and activities, kindergartners in Liz Winnegar’s class explored math through collaboration, critical thinking and joyful problem-solving.
The students used manipulatives, counting tools and interactive games to strengthen mathematical reasoning in engaging and meaningful ways. From pom-poms and small yellow ducks to gummies and math puzzles, the kindergartners practiced counting within and across tens to 100.
“The familiar patterns that students saw and highlighted during their activities helped them count, order and represent numbers independently,” Winnegar said.
The students also worked in small groups, reinforcing their learning through an interactive math practice on Winnegar’s Newline board. Throughout the lesson, the students demonstrated the attributes of the Irvington Way by showing courage as learners and collaboration as classmates.
