First Grade Math

The session, led by first-grade teacher Kayla Hartman, explores strategies for teaching math to young students, focusing on number sense, counting, patterns, time, place value, calendar skills, math facts, money, fractions, and measurements. In it she emphasizes simple, hands-on, and visual methods like counting charts, manipulatives, and group activities to engage students. She also includes interactive elements, encouraging other teachers to share their methods and ask questions to foster collaborative learning.

“First Grade Math” was presented by Kayla Hartman at Western Fellowship Teachers’ Institute in August of 2018 at Lighthouse Mennonite School in Halsey, Oregon.
