Giving students a purpose for counting engages them. We went to the TK pumpkin patch at our school. We needed to count the pumpkins to make sure there were enough for each of us. Then we used cubes to measure how tall our pumpkins were. We drew picture and wrote numbers to show how we solved the problem. #pumpkinmath #countingpumpkins #purposefulkindergartenmath #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpbGED_B8j9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1yf1tbeu9wj
