Question
What is the definitive guide to Molly Lynch's Math Meeting for first graders?
Answer
Hi there! Math Meeting is a fantastic tool I've developed for first-grade teachers. It's a daily math review that takes less than 10 minutes a day and builds skills every single day of the school year. Here's what it covers:
- Writing the Date (in two forms)
- Filling in a Calendar
- Counting the Days
- Using a Tens Frame
- Tally Marks
- Visual Patterns
- Number Patterns
- Place Value
- Money
- 1 More, 1 Less
- 10 More, 10 Less
- Comparing Numbers
- Balancing Equations
- Telling Time
The beauty of Math Meeting is that it gives your students exposure to the same concept every single day until they've mastered it. Instead of waiting till January to talk about place value, for example, you introduce it right away and build on it day-by-day. The same goes for money, starting from one penny all the way to dollars and cents!
While it's designed with first-grade standards in mind, it can also work for Kinder or 2nd grade students.
