Kindergarten Math Videos COMPLETE Set

Teach all aspects of Kindergarten math with these 31 research-based songs, matching videos, and activities! In study of 286 students, an independent researcher found that selected songs decreased anxiety, increased motivation, and increased mathematics achievement (see reference below). I have been revising them to become more and more effective for the last 20 years, with most recent revisions based on my 2016-2019 work in a Learning Design and Technology doctoral program. I'd love to be able to make a difference in your classroom with them!

Research indicates that you can maximize the effectiveness of videos if you use teaching strategies before, during, and after you play them. Please watch the preview to see how this can work. I've included part of the song "Making 11-20" to demonstrate. Sample ideas are for using this song are:

• Before playing the video: Ask students what they know about a number such as "12." Ask them to demonstrate what "12" means with their hands, with base tens blocks, and/or with drawings.
• While playing the video: At first, just watch. Later, ask two volunteers to imitate the video and demonstrate the concept to the class as the song plays. One child will show ten, and the other will add on. Individual students can also show concepts with base 10 blocks or drawings as the song plays. Sometimes, you may encourage students to read from lyric pages as they sing to promote reading fluency.
• After playing the video: Ask children what they noticed, and create mini-lessons based on their observations. Ask them to show numbers from the video in different ways. Promote reading by asking them to read the lyric page with the mp3 (song) version--or with no audio support.

You can access all 50+ minutes of these videos by pressing "play" through the TpT site.

Also, please click on the "Supporting Document" below the video and product information to get a LOT more:

1. Vimeo Links. I designed these videos to introduce, teach, and review individual topics--and I want you to have them as individual files so that you can use them one at a time or in any order you like. That's why I've added links for every individual video to my private Vimeo site (see the "Table of Contents" in the pdf file). You're welcome to stream or download the songs from this site.

2. Lyrics. I also want your students to connect math to reading. I've included lyric pages for all songs. Feel free to create books for your class year after year so that students can learn to read as they sing. Use lyric pages without the song--as a whole class, during guided reading groups, during partner work, and for independent reading.

3. Songs as mp3's. You'll also get a folder containing mp3 music only versions. These are great for doing activities during songs and for promoting reading. To promote math concepts, do activities such as they ones described above independently, without video support. To promote reading, ask children to point to words in lyric books as they sing. You will be surprised that some non- and early readers will learn to read from left to write, top to bottom, and find correct words since the lyrics follow the rhythm of the songs.

4. Teacher's Guide. This guide includes ideas for teaching content before, during, and after singing; manipulatives; centers; and more (100 pages including most activities in full-color and black-and-white).

5. BONUS: You'll also get access to ALL songs from one convenient page on my website. In order to receive this bonus...

• Please purchase the product and take note of your order number.
• E-mail me at missjenny@edutunes.com with your order number. Please also write: "I certify that I will only use each license purchased in one classroom or home. If other teachers or parents ask, I will let them know that they are required to purchase a license." (Note that due to issues with Coronavirus, you are able to share your license with your students' families at this time.)
