As a teacher with many
years of experience, it became very apparent how important
it was for children to have a strong understanding of language concepts.
Solving word problems, listening skills, following instructions,
understanding and using mathematical vocabulary require a
language proficiency. We tend to think of
mathematics as a subject that does not require a strong command of language. In
reality, however, mathematical reasoning and problem solving are closely linked
to language.
These challenging task
cards are designed to review language concepts such as top, middle, bottom,
left, right, over, under, in front, and behind. The teaching and reinforcing of
these concepts not only strengthen language skills but will also gain a stronger
understanding of math concepts. The activities are also geared to improve
students listening skills by listening to clues and following multi-step
directions. These concepts are listed in the Common Core Language Standards for
both Kindergarten and First grade. The activities can be used as a morning warm
up, seat work during language time, warm-up to math activities, or at the end
of the day. Linking cubes will be required to use for the activities or the
students may color and cut the cubes that are included. Response sheets,
journal prompts, and answer key included.
