I'm so excited you're tuned in to Classroom Connection, this is the world beyond the classroom where we connect to the world right at home.
We got some math, we got some reading but also we got some of the dopest corners in the world coming to you all in the next 30 minutes.
Are you ready?
Me too.
Let's see that way one more time.
Yeah, there we go, let's do it.
- Hello super learners, are you ready for another math adventure?
I'm Ms. M and I'm excited to go on a math adventure with you today.
Let's get started.
♪ Hello super learners ♪ ♪ How are you ♪ ♪ Hello super learners ♪ ♪ How are you ♪ ♪ I'm so glad you're here today ♪ ♪ And I hope you feel the same ♪ ♪ Hello super learners ♪ ♪ How are you ♪ How are you today?
Oh, I feel great today.
And I really hope you do too.
Let's get right to our math power warm-ups, are you ready?
Because here we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, that was fun.
Well, now let's snap count up to 20.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, let's keep going, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Yes, super learners are the best.
Getting warmed up and I hope you are too.
One more time counting to 20 but this time let's do it in Spanish.
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, once, doce, trece, catorce, quince, dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve, veinte, veinte, 20.
Excellent job super learners, now it's time to review our colors.
Rojo, red naranja, orange amarillo, yellow verde, green azul, blue morado, purple marrón, brown.
negro, black, blanco, white, and gris, gray.
Look for these colors in the world today.
Here is our last math power warm-up, time for the shape game.
You will see a shape and then you say its name.
Cuadrado, square, círculo, circle, triangulo, triangle, rectángulo, rectangle, rombo, rhombus, trapezoide, trapezoid, hexagono, hexagon, cubo, cube cono, cone, cilindro, cylinder esfera, sphere, all warmed up?
Then it's time for our math mission of the day.
Let's check with sparkles the fish to see what our mission is today.
Dear super learners, your mission today is to strengthen your counting skills even more, power up super counters, count to 100 in two different ways and count up to 10 starting from a number other than one.
Wow, so today, we will count to 100 in two ways to strengthen our skills.
We will also count up to 10 from different numbers other than one.
Super learners, I know we can do this mission.
Capes on Math power up, let's go.
Here is a hundreds chart.
This math tool can help us accomplish our mission.
Let's start by counting all the way to 100 by ones.
That means we will say each number in order all the way to 100.
Clap each time you count.
Ready, set, math power up.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 98, 99, 100.
Yeah, you did it super learners.
Now let's count up to 100 by 10s.
Look at the hundreds chart, at the end of each row is a 10.
Let's count to 100 by 10s by saying the numbers at the end of each row.
Ready, set, math power up.
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
We did it.
We counted to 100 by ones and 10s.
Who's really awesome?
You're really awesome.
Did you hear that?
Wow, amazing super learners.
We just counted to 100 in two ways.
We are halfway through our mission.
Now we have to count to 10 starting from a number different than one.
We can do it super learners, but before we do, it's time for a math movement break.
Let's dance our numbers counting down from 10 for inspiration.
You're ready?
Let's go.
10 arm points, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Nine swims, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Eight side bends, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Seven toe raises or elevates, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Six arm scoops, one, two, three, four, five, six.
Five hip shakes, one, two, three, four, five.
Four shoulder shrugs, one, two, three, four.
Three toe taps, one, two, three.
Two twirls, one and two and our grand finale, one.
That was fun counting down from 10 but we are running out of time.
Let's look at this math tool, a number line.
The numbers are in order, one to 10.
We need to read them left to right, just like when we read a book.
We can start from one and go to 10 but what if we started from two?
Let's try it.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Now from three, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Four, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Let's try from five, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Six is next, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Seven, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Eight is next, eight, nine, 10.
Nine is last, nine, 10.
We did it super learners, we counted up to 10 starting at different numbers other than one.
No matter where we start from, we still go in order and end at 10.
Wait a minute, now we have counted to 100 two ways and counted up to 10 starting from numbers other than one.
Let's check back with sparkles of fish.
Mission complete.
Congratulations super learners, you used your math powers and completed the mission.
What is it time to do?
Let's review.
We can count by ones and by 10s to get all the way to 100.
We know that when we count, we have to count in the right order.
We also can count up to 10 starting at numbers other than one.
We know that no matter where we start, we just keep going in that order.
Practice counting today super learners.
You can share your math power by showing it to someone.
Thank you super learners for going on a math mission with me today.
And sparkles thanks you too.
Remember, you have the power to be super at math.
Bye, adiós, math power out.
- I am so glad we got a good dose of math for today.
I just feel better now, don't you?
We have more fun to get into today, so get ready to roll on ahead.
Here we go.

We go together because you love me and I love you.
- I got a really important question for you.
How do you know that the ocean is friendly?
It waves.
That's right, you got it.
We're gonna get into another math lesson right now, so get ready.
- Hi friends, my name is Dawn and I am so happy to be here with you today.
And I brought my friend along Splat.
Before we get started, you might want to get a trusted adult or stuffed animal to talk about your math thinking.
You might want to get some beans or pasta to help you make the different numbers we see today.
Finally, you might want to get some paper and a pencil so you can write about your math learning at the end of our time together.
I'll wait while you get what you need.
[upbeat music] Welcome back, I hope you have all that you need.
We are going to have some fun with subitizing today.
Subitizing is quickly seeing how many items are present, such as dots.
Splat wanted to join us today and learn about a really awesome tool we are going to use called a five frame.
This will help us organize our thinking when we see dots.
We're going to show you some dots in the five frames very quickly.
Your job is to say or show how many dots you see with each picture that flashes on our screen.
Then you get to explain out loud to an adult or stuffed animal how you see the dots.
Splat isn't really sure how this will all work, so we are going to help him out.
Are you ready?
Let's go, watch the screen.
Oh, that was super quick.
Say out loud or make with your beans or pasta how many dots you saw.
Did you hear that Splat?
They saw seven, that's right.
How did you see the seven dots?
Will you say that out loud so Splat can hear how your brain saw those dots?
Or you can make the dots with the beans or pasta.
My brain saw four dots on top and three dots on bottom, and I know that if I move one dot to the top that makes five and that five plus two equals seven.
I wonder how many dots I need to make both five frames full.
Can you whisper to yourself or use your beans or pasta to show how many dots I'd have to add to make all of my squares full?
That's right, I need three dots and both five frames would be full.
That would make a 10.
We know this because three plus seven equals 10.
You worked so hard on this, let's do another one.
Watch the screen.
That was super quick again, tell an adult or stuffed animal out loud so Splat can hear you how many dots you saw on the screen.
You saw eight dots?
We did too.
Now tell Splat how you saw the dots or you can make the picture of dots with your beans or pasta.
My brain saw the two empty squares and I know that two less than 10 is eight, so I knew they were eight squares because 10 minus two equals eight.
Splat whispered to me that he saw four dots on top and four dots on bottom and he knows that four plus four equals eight because it's one of the doubles he's learned.
That's correct Splat.
What great math thinking you are doing today.
I think Splat is getting the hang of this.
I know you are doing lots of thinking about our five frames.
I have another question.
How many dots do we need to make both five frames full?
This would make 10.
Can you whisper to yourself how many dots you would add to make 10.
Two, that's right.
We need two dots to make 10 because two plus eight equals 10.
Wow, you and Splat worked so hard on making a 10 with our five frames.
I think you're ready for another one.
Watch the screen.
You're doing such a great job of watching for our five frames.
Tell an adult or stuffed animal what you saw when our dots flashed up on the screen.
I bet you saw nine just like Splat and I did.
How did you see nine?
Think about how the dots were organized so that you knew there were nine dots.
Tell an adult or stuffed animal what you saw so you would know there were nine dots.
You could also make the dots you saw with your beans or pasta.
Splat, look at these five frames.
The bottom one is missing a dot and I know that one less than 10 is nine so there must be nine dots.
Splat, can you help me think of another way to see the dots?
Splat says he saw five dots on top and four dots on bottom and he knows that five plus four equals nine.
Wow, that is some really great thinking.
Okay friends, you've done some really great subitizing today.
It's time for our last set of dots.
Are you and Splat ready?
Watch the screen.
Oh, did you see that?
How many dots were there?
That is good thinking, there were 10 dots.
Tell a friend or stuffed animal what you saw with your brain.
And Splat is going to whisper to me how many dots there were and what his brain saw.
Splat and I saw 10 dots too and we saw two five frames all filled up with five dots on the top and five dots on the bottom.
I know that five plus five equals 10, so there must be 10 dots.
What else did you notice about our five frames?
Can you whisper to Splat what you see that looks different?
Yes, we have only one 10 frame instead of two five frames.
We have one whole 10, it's like we traded in our ones for one whole 10.
Whoa, that is super exciting.
Friends, it is almost time for Splat and me to go today.
I'm so glad we got to do some subitizing together and we got to teach Splat how five frames work and how to explain our thinking.
You really thought hard to figure out how many dots there were in the five and 10 frame.
You were also good at figuring out how many dots we needed to make 10.
But before we go, Splat and I would love to hear you say what you learned today.
I have these sentence starters and I'm hoping you can finish these sentences with me.
They say, today in math I learned... And I can...
So I might say, today in math I learned how to subitize with numbers in five frames.
I can add parts of numbers together to make a whole.
Now it's your turn.
Read this with me and finish it by telling an adult or stuffed animal, today in math I learned... Now let's read our next sentence and you can finish it.
I can... You are doing a great job talking about your math learning.
Next, you could also write this on paper or in your notebook and start a math journal.
Splat and I must go now, but remember, subitizing helped us see that our numbers are composed or made up of other numbers.
Recognizing and combining groups can help us name a total and different ways to make that total.
We are so proud of how hard you worked today.
Splat and I will see you soon.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa I got another video coming out for you.
- Hi friends, it's Ms. B. I'm so excited to move with you again today.
We're going to stretch out our fore arms and our wrists.
So I'll show you first and then we'll do two on each arm together.
Remember, you can sit criss-cross applesauce like me, or you can take your legs and stretch them out in front of you but always do what feels good in your body.
I'm gonna turn around so you can see my arms better.
We'll start with our right hand, so lets wiggle our right fingers, awesome.
Press your right hand for like a stop sign, wiggle those fingers up towards the sky, now take your other hand and gently pull those fingers towards your chest.
Not too hard, we don't wanna hurt our wrists or our fingers, so be nice and gentle.
And then we'll take a breath in.
one out and we'll do the other side.
Sink those fingertips down towards the ground this time and wiggle those fingers so we know that they're there.
We'll grab those fingers with our other hand and gently pull him towards us, nice and soft.
It's okay if you stop stretching for we don't wanna hurt ourselves.
You think you got it?
I think you do.
So we're gonna start again on our right side.
Take a nice big breath in.
Sign that right hand forward like a stop sign and wiggle those fingers, are you wiggling?
Okay, I see it now.
Take your other hand and gently pull those fingers toward your chest.
You should feel a nice stretch in your forearm and a nice stretch in your wrist.
Nice big breath in, let it all out, awesome.
Sign those fingers down towards the ground this time, let's wiggle them together, wiggle, wiggle.
Pull those fingers together, bring them to our chest, nice and gentle and we'll feel a stretch on the upper part of our arm this time.
Nice big breath in, let it all out.
Let's do our left hand.
Breath in, wiggle those fingers on our left hand nice and up towards the sky and then we'll take our other hand and gently pull them towards our chest.
Take a breath in, let it all out.
And we'll send those fingers down towards the ground this time, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, you got it, and pull them in towards your chest.
Take a nice big breath in, let it all out, awesome.
Shake it out, shake it, shake it, shake it.
And place our hands back on our knees criss-cross applesauce.
You did so great.
So, so great, I'm so excited to move with you next time, until then, bye friends.
- That's all for today but before you leave, I need that P, L, L, that peace, love and learning.
There it is, I like that.
All right super learner, stay safe, I'll see you next time.
