These are the lesson plans for Unit 3 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.
★ Taught in Kindergarten in some states.
Eight lesson plans, one for each lesson of a Kindergarten unit on sorting, counting and graphing, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the eight 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 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. The exit tickets and the unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons. Lessons 3.5 to 3.8 (reading and making picture graphs, collecting the answers to a question and reading a T-chart) are for the states that teach them in Kindergarten.
Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson with toys, socks or snacks to sort, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.

Lesson plans for every lesson of a Kindergarten unit on sorting, counting and graphing, 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 and quiz for that lesson. Lessons: sort by one rule, find the one that does not belong, sort and count each group, and find the group with the most, with reading and making picture graphs, collecting the answers to a question and reading a T-chart for the states that teach them.
