1. Teacher will review letter names using cards

Explore with math and numbers, starting with counting and matching and moving into adding/subtracting
Comments
I have seen the Osmos kits used in action. The students love the interaction and manipulation of the tiles. Osmos will help guide them through so teachers can work with other students. Teachers can monitor and see where errors are occuring to help guide their instruction and offer extra support in the areas.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
The kit also includes number tiles identifying numbers, counting and even adding and subtracting can also be used.
Follow-Up
After working with the Osmo kit, students will then be able to move to a writing center and use the skills learned to create words on their own. They can move from letters to words and eventually work to writing sentenses.
