Pre-K Math Curriculum

Thank you so much for joining me today for a post all about PRE-K MATH! Before I start in explaining the program… I’d love to share what fellow Pre-K teachers are saying about the program!

“Words cannot express how AMAZING this resource is! Tara has thought of and INCLUDED EVERYTHING to make learning math fun and ENGAGING for our little learners from easy to read lesson plans, HANDS-ON DIFFERENTIATED small group plans, PLAY-BASED learning center ideas (using manipulatives many of us already have in our classrooms!), MUSIC and MOVEMENT, and adorable MASCOTS for each unit that the kids will absolutely love! There are so many things included that the only trouble will be figuring out how to fit it ALL in! It is a MUST HAVE resource for Pre-K and any Kindergarten or Sped teachers that like hands-on, minds-on learning! -Nicki”

“What I love about this new PreK Math Curriculum is that Tara really thought about each and every piece of this including research and collaboration with preschool teachers to determine what would be best. At the end of the day, I appreciate that it is DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE, and PLAY BASED. I can also say, that the small group differentiation is a HUGE time saver for planning. Don’t make the mistake of NOT purchasing this curriculum…it’s bound to be a game changer for you!” -Brent

What is Pre-K Math? 

Pre-K Math units are teacher-created, kid-tested, and most importantly kid-approved! Pre-K Math takes away that monotonous way of teaching math where students sit and listen to the teacher TEACH math. Instead, Pre-K Math encourages guidance from the teacher while the students TEACH and LEARN math through hands-on and engaging math activities with their partners.

Pre-K Math units are made up of 10 instructional days each, but can be adjusted to fit your classroom needs. The units include assessment pieces as a way to ensure student growth over the unit.These are just a few highlights you’ll see using the Pre-K Math Units; kids talking about math, kids using manipulatives, activities that are fun + engaging, learning that requires critical thinking!

Pre-K Math curriculum is a 35 week math curriculum that includes lesson plans that break down a 60 minute block math time into these sections {movement, rhythm, whole-group lesson, small-group lesson and apply & practice}. The units will also include any and all cards needed to make the lessons successful! You will just need to provide the manipulatives like teddy bears or cubes!

Pre-K Math is a simple print and teach math curriculum. No more tracking down ideas, worksheets, cards, etc! I have it covered!

These are just a few highlights you’ll see using the Pre-K Math Units:

Below is a quick overview of how each unit will be set up.  You will notice that you might see more than you can squeeze into one day.  That is okay and what is best about Pre-K Math. Pre-K Math is made with the teacher in mind, so pick and choose from the material based on students’ need.

A closer look at the unit: Within each unit of Pre-K Math you will receive 10 teaching lessons, or ten days of instruction.  Each lesson will come with a daily practice sheet as well.  Along with the lessons and practice sheets, the unit will also include any and all student cards/hands-on materials needed for the students to be successful. The lesson will also have a paired interactive notebook sheet and aligned center mat. The teacher will only need to provide the manipulatives, such as cubes or counters.

The units will also come with math talk images.  These can be printed or displayed on an interactive whiteboard.  Along with the necessary material for each week, Pre-K Math also comes with an assessment for each unit.

Below is a quick overview of how each lesson plan is set up including the math lesson breakdowns and the main headers upon the left & right sidebars. The lesson plan is broken down into five main sections: movement, rhythm, whole-group lesson, small-group lesson, and apply & practice.
