These are the lesson plans for Unit 13 of 13 in the Kindergarten Math Curriculum: 123 lessons in teaching order, week by week, each with a lesson plan and an exit ticket.
Also for this unit: this unit’s exit tickets and this unit’s test. See the whole year
Everything each lesson plan points to, with links. Sheet numbers count worksheets: a color pack prints each sheet again in black and white.
Twelve lesson plans, one for each lesson of a Kindergarten unit on money, patterns and the calendar, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the twelve lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, makers, tools and quiz for the lesson.
Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 35 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching on the rug, 5 minutes together, 10 minutes of practice and an exit ticket you read aloud. Every lesson in this unit is for the states that teach it in Kindergarten, so teach the ones your state asks for. The parts can come at different times of the year: lessons 13.1 to 13.3 are coins, 13.4 and 13.5 are earning money and needs and wants, 13.6 to 13.8 are patterns, 13.9 is sharing fairly, and 13.10 to 13.12 are the calendar, which fit daily calendar time. The exit tickets and the unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons.
Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson: sort the coins from a jar, make patterns with socks or snacks, share a snack fairly, and talk about yesterday, today and tomorrow at breakfast. The "Words to use" are the way to talk about it, and the mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.

Lesson plans for every lesson of a Kindergarten unit on money, patterns and the calendar, one page a lesson, with a unit overview that lays the unit out day by day. Each plan has the goal and its "I can" line, what to get ready, the words to use, a 35 minute lesson in five steps (warm up, teach with words to say, try it together, practice, an exit ticket read aloud), questions to ask, the mistakes children make and what to do about them, and ideas for children who need help or are ready for more. Each one ends with the Animal Math worksheets, worksheet makers, tools and quiz for that lesson. Lessons: name the coins, heads and tails, what a penny, nickel and dime are worth, earning money, needs and wants, repeating patterns, the part that repeats, growing patterns, sharing fairly, the days of the week, the months and the calendar, and morning, afternoon and night. Every lesson is for the states that teach it in Kindergarten, and the parts can be spread through the year.
