Dr.Hanna School
Kindergarten Math Trail

Designed by Nicole Theaker and Sandi Monkhouse
Fall 2001

Table Number: Names of students in group: Names of teacher/helpers: You are going to be going on a "math walk" around your school and classroom. This will take about one hour to complete. You may not finish every question in the hour, but do as many as possible. We will be doing the math trail in our table numbers (#1, #2, and #3). Table #1 will be with Miss Theaker, starting at question number one. Table #2 will be with Miss Monkhouse, starting at question number four. Table #3 will be with Mrs. Campbell, starting at question number seven. Some of the mathematics on the math trail may be tricky or difficult for you. You may ask other group members for help or if it is still too difficult you can ask your teacher. Kindergartens probably will not be reading their own questions. Every teacher will be reading the questions for their group. Please Help One Another-HAVE FUN!
