These math story problems are not worksheets. They encourage students to visualize, draw, and problem-solve, fostering a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Starting with pictures is a great way to dive into word problems. It’s like a bridge between words and math symbols. Drawing can also make math less stressful. We’re not jumping straight into solving an equation; we’re just sketching to understand the problem. By bridging the gap between words and symbols, these journal prompts make math less intimidating and more enjoyable for young learners.

HOW TO MATH JOURNALS WORK?

Each day, you will select a math word problem to review. You will read the math story problem to your students. Then, students will respond by drawing.

Kindergarten math drawings don’t have to be masterpieces; they just need to make sense. The cool thing about the ‘Draw a Picture’ trick is that it lets the teacher peek into their math brain and see how they’re thinking. It’s a win-win! Additionally, those drawings can spark some awesome math discussions!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT KINDERGARTEN MATH JOURNALS:

QUESTION:

Why don’t the prompts have pictures they can cut out?

ANSWER:

We aim for students to visualize and draw to solve the math story problem. This transfers over to other word problems they will encounter. Additionally, cutting out pictures takes time. These prompts take just minutes to do each day.

QUESTION:

Why don’t you print them on labels?

ANSWER:

Labels are expensive!!! And tedious to pass out to students. After a few days of practice, your students will be successful with putting these prompts into their own journals. Additionally, each month has way more prompts that you can use. Those math story prompts you don’t use can be recycled!
