I am excited to apply my understanding of numeracy skill development with my students as they move from concrete to pictorial to use symbols. This will provide a strong knowledge of learned concepts so they can demonstrate flexibility, efficiency and accuracy in their use of numbers.
The Albanesi Curriculum Program is designed for use in the Language Arts and Math curriculum areas. It comes with a workplan booklet and task cards. Task cards "tell precisely which presentations, exercises and materials" are needed for a learned concept—workplan charts list tasks to complete. Learners can self-evaluate their progress, and teachers can monitor student pacing and learning.
To make this resource efficient, I created Workplan charts to include labelled pictures of all the materials (Montessori & non-Montessori) so students can quickly identify materials and parents can know what the materials we work with look like. In addition, some of the charts state the expected learning outcomes.
Learning Outcomes
Say the number sequence 0 to 100 by: • 1s, 2s,5s, 10s forward/backward between any two given numbers, with different starting points 0-9; Subitize and name familiar arrangements of 1 to 20 objects or dots; Demonstrate an understanding of counting by: • using counting-on • using parts or equal groups to count sets; Represent, estimate and describe numbers to 20, concretely, pictorially and symbolically and using referents; Demonstrate if a number (up to 100) is even or odd; Describe order or relative position, using ordinal numbers (up to tenth).
Demonstrate an understanding of repeating/increasing patterns (two to five elements) by: • describing • reproducing *extending • creating *comparing • creating patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds and actions. Translating patterns; Sort a set of objects, using one/two attributes, and explain the sorting rule; Demonstrate, explain and record the meaning of equality and inequality, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.
