Tally's

The first grade students that I worked with learned a lesson on Tally's and for the most part it was a successful lesson because most of the students understood the concept. The issue here was that in the beginning stage of doing tally worksheets after grasping the concept, some kept forgetting to add the "strike" tally that goes across the  four tally's to make them five. I then told the students who kept forgetting to imagine that the five tally's was a fist with four fingers clenched and the thumb crossing over them. It worked. They remembered. https://www.greatschools.org/gk/worksheets/reading-tally-charts/ http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/1/MD/

Shapes and Vertices Standard 1G.

Shapes and Vertices are the sides and corners of a shape. Standard 1G. The first grade students that I work with had learned about how to count the sides of shapes. Now they had to learn the names of the corners in the shapes which plural are called vertices and a singular corner is a vertex. This lesson was taught on the rug in the classroom on the smartboard. The students had the opportunity to participate in the lesson by answering questions asked by the teacher and they also asked questions themselves. Then the students were instructed by the teacher to discuss how many vertices they saw and to discuss it with their partner. Afterwards, they went to their tables to work. The teacher handed out workbooks that included this subject. Some students struggled (3). These three were the students that usually required extra support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Small Group Instruction: I took them to a
