Aims:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Introduce key early math milestones for PreK learners.<\/li>\n
  • Support observation and documentation of children\u2019s math growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Adults know what to look for in developing math skills.<\/li>\n
    • Children are supported to reach important early math milestones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Use a checklist to observe children\u2019s math skills.<\/li>\n
      • Set goals for supporting each child\u2019s math development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Transformation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Move from informal observation to intentional tracking and planning for math growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Foundation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Previous informal observation of play and learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            What Happens Next:<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Informs individualized support and next steps in math instruction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Skill Progression:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Observation<\/li>\n
              • Documentation<\/li>\n
              • Goal setting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Sample Activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Math Milestone Review:<\/strong> Go through a checklist of key skills (e.g., counting to 5, sorting, recognizing shapes).<\/li>\n
                • Observation Practice:<\/strong> Watch children during math play and note milestones met.<\/li>\n
                • Goal Setting:<\/strong> Plan next steps for each child\u2019s math growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Use the checklist to document which milestones each child has reached.<\/li>\n
                  • Reflect on classroom practices supporting math development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • PreK Math Milestones Checklist<\/li>\n
                    • Observation notes\/forms<\/li>\n
                    • Pens, sticky notes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
