The following site has many lessons for math and literacy. It also has activities students can do on the computer. @http://illuminations.nctm.org/

KWC Chart
The chart is used to build schema, stimulate interest through questioning, clarify student understanding of concepts being taught, and as an informal assessment tool. Two charts are presented, one lined and one unlined.

**Music**
This following site provides song and videos for learning math concepts @http://mathstory.com/multimediapage/multimediapage.html

**Alice the Camel has Five Humps**
The following song can be used for number recognition, number sense, and one to one matching (counting). Number problems can also be created. (If Alice has 8 humps and we give her 3 more, How many humps will she have? Alice has 8 humps, we take away half of them. How many humps does Alice have now?) In addition we can look at percents, fractions, and decimals (75% of Alice's humps are spotted. How many of Alice's humps are spotted? Write it in a fraction, decimal)

**Five Little Monkeys**
The following song can be used for number recognition, number sense, counting back and number problems can be created (30 little monkeys jumping on the bed ten fell off and bumped their heads or How many Monkeys would there be if 10 more jumped on?) @http://www.kididdles.com/assets/songs/music/f018.mid

**Hickory Dickory Dock**
The following song can be used for telling time (the clock showed 1:15 and down he came) and discussing elapsed time (picking a time from a container, discussing how much time has gone by)

**Three Little Monkeys**
The following chant can be used for number recognition, number sense, counting back and number problems can be created (snaps 10 monkeys, a quarter of the monkeys)

**Miles From Home (sung to 99 Bottles of Pop)**
The following song can be used to focus on multiple digit addition and subtraction (I'm 2000 miles from home, I drove 60 miles and and 37 more, I'm 1,903 miles from home

**Hickety, Pickety Bumble Bee**
The following chant can be used to solidify oral counting, and counting objects
