  1. Exploration of a Balance: Keeping in Balance
    Go to Record #4215  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L183
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics
    Commentary: With this lesson, young children can explore and experiment with balance, mass, and the length of the mass arm in a meaningful and fun way. With preschool children, the teacher can use this activity as an exploration rather than making it a formal lesson...


  2. Here, There & Everywhere: Patterns/Relationships
    Go to Record #143  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/mathline/lessonpl...
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Algebra, Patterns and Sequences
    Commentary: 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...


  3. The Magic Box: Patterns/Relationships
    Go to Record #323  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/mathline/lessonpl...
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Algebra, Patterns and Sequences
    Commentary: In this lesson, children enjoy a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and numerical patterns. After some group activities, the children work at activity centers to further investigate patterns...


  4. Investigating Shapes: Triangles
    Go to Record #3336  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/index_o.aspx?id=52
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Geometry, Flat Shapes, Characteristics of Shapes
    Commentary: 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...


  5. Calculating Patterns: Making a Record of Pattern Cores
    Go to Record #3858  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/index_d.aspx?id=495
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Algebra, Patterns and Sequences, Modeling with Blocks and Manipulatives
    Commentary: Children create simple repeating patterns using blocks and other objects. They describe their patterns in words and analyze patterns created by others...


  6. Traveling Along: My Special Place at School
    Go to Record #3964  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L150
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Measurement, Length, Height, and Distance, Measuring with Nonstandard Units
    Commentary: This lesson is an excellent way for children to measure with different types of tools, record the results, and construct a map. In the lesson, kindergartners and older preschoolers can measure distances between objects in their classroom with a non standard measurement tool such as a pencil and use the measured distances to make a map...


  7. Traveling Along: Virtual Puzzles
    Go to Record #3966  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L152
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Geometry, Flat Shapes, Spatial Sense
    Commentary: This lesson, involving the use on an online learning tool called an applet, is a nice way to continue the discussion of shape characteristics and spatial relationships with pre-K and older children. This lesson is part of a multipart unit. Teachers will want to complete the unit's previous lesson, Puzzling Relationships, ORC # 3965, before working with this lesson...


  8. Powerful Patterns: Playing With Patterns
    Go to Record #3971  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L140
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Algebra, Patterns and Sequences, Modeling with Blocks and Manipulatives
    Commentary: Children identify the cores of repeating patterns and reproduce them in different modalities: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. They may also use a pattern blocks applet to create patterns using different shapes...


  9. Information Represented Graphically: What's the Weather?
    Go to Record #4227  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L196
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Data, Representing Data in Tables and Graphs
    Commentary: This lesson will engage young children in analyzing information represented in a picture graph. The activities focus on studying a block graph that reports the number of students who wore sweaters to school each day for one week...


  10. Amazing Attributes: Just Alike
    Go to Record #4281  Add To My REC Collection
    URL: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L47
    Resource Type: Lessons and Activities
    Ages: 4-5
    Topics: Mathematics — Algebra, Sorting and Classifying
    Commentary: Sorting and classifying real materials make this lesson worthwhile for older preschoolers needing to build their understanding of sorting by attributes. Using buttons with younger preschoolers is not recommended because of the possibility of choking...
