Making 14 - Lesson for Kindergarten, Chapter - Composing Numbers
In the "Making 14" lesson, specifically designed for Kindergarten students as part of the "Composing Numbers" chapter within the "Additional Practice with Numbers up to 20" unit, young learners will embark on an exciting journey to understand the concept of the number 14 through engaging activities. Through the "14 in School Worksheet," students will explore various ways to compose and decompose the number 14, using objects and scenarios familiar to them from their school environment. This hands-on activity not only reinforces their counting skills but also enhances their understanding of how numbers can be grouped in different ways.
Moreover, the "7 Continents and 7 Seas Worksheet" introduces students to a global perspective, connecting the number 14 to real-world concepts by identifying 7 continents and 7 seas. This activity not only broadens their geographical knowledge but also emphasizes the significance of the number 14 in understanding our planet.
Learning to compose and decompose numbers is foundational in developing strong number sense, a crucial skill in early mathematics education. It helps students understand the relationships between numbers, an essential step towards grasping more complex mathematical concepts in the future.
