This excellent lesson plan features patterning activities based on Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See, a book with repetitions of sounds and pictures. By reading and acting out the book's story, children learn about word patterns in literature.
Topics: Mathematics — Algebra, Patterns and Sequences
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 4-5

In this 9-lesson unit, children explore the four models of addition (counting, sets, number line, and balanced equations) using dominoes. They also learn about the order (commutative) property for addition, the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction, and the result of adding 0 (additive identity).
Topics: Mathematics — Numbers and Operations, Counting, Numerals, Adding, Subtracting
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 4-5

Prior to actually engaging in the structured activities found in this six-lesson unit, young children will require opportunities to establish a basic familiarity with coins by incorporating their use into unstructured play. In the unit lessons, children explore the relationships among pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.
Topics: Mathematics — Numbers and Operations, Counting, Adding, Subtracting, Money
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 4-5

In this lesson, the children estimate and then measure some simple lengths, first with candy bars of varying lengths and then with toothpicks of uniform length. They gain an appreciation of the importance of measuring with standard units.
Topics: Mathematics — Measurement, Length, Height, and Distance, Measuring Tools and Techniques, Measuring with Standard Units, Measuring with Nonstandard Units
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 4-5
-
In this five-lesson unit, children identify characteristics of triangles, manipulate real and electronic geoboards to construct triangles, and describe the triangles' relative locations. In addition, through music and observation, children identify triangles in their environment.
Topics: Mathematics — Geometry, Flat Shapes, Characteristics of Shapes
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 4-5
-
This eight-lesson unit features activities in which four and five year-old children can model with cubes and explore progressively larger sets containing 5-10 elements. The lessons are designed to engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners and to offer students opportunities to think and talk about what numerals represent.
Topics: Mathematics — Numbers and Operations, Counting, Numerals, Adding, Subtracting, More, Less, and Fewer, Mathematical Thinking, Number Sense, Communication
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 4-5

In this unit of 7 lessons, children make groups of zero through five objects and connect number words to the groups. They use numerals to record the size of a group.
Topics: Mathematics — Numbers and Operations, Counting, Numerals, More, Less, and Fewer
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 3-5
-
In this lesson, children use multiple copies of a nonstandard unit (an outline of their teacher's foot) to measure distances between objects in the classroom. They then measure the same distances by counting repetitions of a single copy of the teacher's foot unit.
Topics: Mathematics — Measurement, Length, Height, and Distance, Measuring Tools and Techniques, Measuring with Nonstandard Units
Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
Ages: 4-5
