Kindergarten: Addition, Body Percussion

Blanchard Elementary, Year One

Singletary – DB Woolbright


Learning Objective/Exit Outcomes:

  • Students will have a better visualization of the sum of two numbers between 1-4.
  • Students will use body percussion to create rhythmic, mathematical sums of two numbers between 1-4.

State Standards:

MCCK.OA.3 Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1)

ESGMK.PR.2 Perform a varied repertoire of music on instruments, alone and with others. 

  1. Echo simple rhythmic patterns with appropriate technique using body percussion and classroom instruments. 
  2. Perform steady beat and simple rhythmic patterns with appropriate technique using body percussion and classroom instruments.

Integration Area/Subject:  

Math/Music

Materials/Playing Space:

Open space to make a drum circle

Description:

 We began by learning the body percussion instruments through a game called “Let’s All Play Our Body Parts”. “Let’s all play our body parts. A rhythm coming from our hearts. From our head down to our toes, show me how your rhythm goes!”

Then we quickly reviewed addition with the number between 1-4.

Next, the facilitator would clap a number between 1-4 then stomp a number between 1-4. The whole class then beats the sum on our chests. We did this a few times, then broke up into groups of two to play this game individually. One partner claps a number, the other partner stomps, then both partners play the sum on their chests together.

Notes:

I think next time we should split the group in half. Working together, each group would decide on a number and play as two teams. The whole class would play the sum on their chest.
