These 31 songs and matching videos teach EVERY SINGLE Common Core Kindergarten math standard!! 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. Some of these songs were used in a 2009 study of 286 students. The researcher found that the songs decrease anxiety, increase motivation, and increase mathematics achievement (Kokobas, 2009). I'd love to be able to make a difference in your classroom with them!
You'll get a zip file including:
1. Vimeo Links. I designed these to be powerful tools that can 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 to every individual video on Vimeo (from 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. I've also added mp3 music only versions. While students learn from watching videos, I've noticed many are more engaged when listening to the songs and pointing to the words. Which works better in your classroom? I'd love to hear from you!
4. Teacher's 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).
***PLUS, you'll get access to ALL songs from one convenient page on this website. In order to receive this bonus...
