Our school improvement goal is to improve our students math skills grades K-12. Every teacher, no matter their grade or subject matter, will be incorporating math into their curriculum to help achieve this goal. In the past, our goal was to improve our students' reading skills and our test scores are going up.
In the Kindergarten classroom, we are using a new and challenging math series, incorporating Accelerated Math and now we are adding Math Stations. After a student has completed their AM work, they are free to check the Math Station chart to see which activity they will be working on for the day. At the end of each day I rotate the stations. The stations include activities for: counting, shapes, sorting, number recognition, coins, patterns, measurement, addition, and subtraction. Each month I will change the stations. Here is a look at our January Math Stations.
The boys and girls put these in numerical order - counting by ones to 20, by tens to 100 and by fives to 100.
Then the boys and girls write their numbers for even more practice.
Dice activities are great ways to work on counting and following directions.
A counting activity - the students count the snowflakes and clip the clothespin to the correct number.
The boys and girls make different kinds of patterns then record on a coloring sheet.
Every snowman needs some buttons. The students put the correct number of foam shapes onto the snowman.
Practicing addition. The boys and girls write the math problem on their recording sheet. Pasta "snowflakes" are used to help solve the math problem.

Below are some snapshots of my kinder kiddos working with their January Math Stations:
