Grade Levels and Math Skills

The kit is designed for students in Kindergarten through Grade 5, with learning targets that vary by grade.

• Kindergarten: Count to 100 by ones and tens and count forward from a given number.
• Grade 1: Connect counting with addition and subtraction, find 10 more or less, and subtract multiples of 10.
• Grade 2: Skip count within 1,000 and add or subtract 10 or 100 from numbers between 100 and 900.
• Grade 3: Identify arithmetic patterns and represent fractions on a number line.
• Grade 4: Read and write multi-digit whole numbers, round using place value, and decompose fractions into sums of fractions.
• Grade 5: Read, write, and compare decimals through the thousandths place and round decimals to the hundredths place.

Classroom Uses

Teachers can use the kit for whole-class instruction, small-group practice, math centers, or movement-based review activities. The masking tape can be used to create a temporary number line on the floor, while the game cards provide the activity prompts.

For example, a Kindergarten class can use the floor number line to practice counting forward or counting by tens. Grade 3 students can move along a number line to represent fractions, while Grade 5 students can use activities involving decimal comparison and rounding.

The movement format can also be used as a change of pace during a math lesson or as a structured review activity.
