Write & Draw Math: Kindergarten

Help young children develop critical thinking skills with open-ended problems, for which there is no one correct answer.

Working in small groups, children use readily available manipulatives to explore various solutions and describe their answers through writing and drawing. Each activity page can be reused multiple times, using larger numbers as children become more adept at working with small numbers. A fun and engaging way to promote mathematical thinking!
