What is a Community? Social Studies for Kindergarten | Kids Academy

A common question in social studies for kindergarten homeschool is what is a community? It is a part of the social studies curriculum. A community is a place where people live together with each other. People in a community interact with each other and responsible for the well-being of their community.

There are two major types of communities:

1. Urban
2. Rural
3. Suburban

Urban

Also called as the city is the more highly populated and busier community. In this type of community, you will see taller buildings, more traffic and a lot of hustle bustle around. People live in apartments rather than houses and there is always heavy traffic.

Rural

The rural community is the more peaceful kind of community. It mostly consists of farms and fields and animals and very few people. It is the agricultural areas of a country. People live in small houses that are located at a longer distance from each other sometimes even miles. There is hardly any traffic and has a very peaceful environment.

Suburban

A suburban community is located at nearby the urban community but outside the city. It is less busy than the city and less populated also. People live in homes with gardens that give a very fresh and a very peaceful look to the area. There is lesser traffic. Most people travel from nearby suburban to urban areas for work.
Things you will find in a community

Now there are certain things that signify the presence of a community. The kid must be able to identify these things as these are the things that they see around them in real life.

These very common things include:

1. Library
2. Policeman
3. Parks
4. Houses
5. School bus

Many other things that we see around ourselves since we all live in a community are a part of the community.

Comparing Numbers: 2-Digit Numbers | Math for 1st Grade | Kids Academy Teacherflix 4 Views • 2 years ago

It's Kids Academy and welcome back to our channel! When comparing numbers, learners will examine and then assess whether a given number is greater than, less than or equal to another number. When students are comparing numbers correctly, they are able to make logical estimations, solve division problems more easily and develop number sense.

When children are efficient with counting to 100 and familiar with place value, then they can begin to compare 2-digit numbers. Students usually doing math in 1st grade are ready to be comparing numbers. Using base 10 counting blocks, students can show a given quantity.

For example, the number of twenty-five can be shown with the blocks as 2 tens and 5 ones. Likewise, number 43 can be shown as 4 tens and 3 ones. The student can easily see that number 43 is greater than 25. Now the child can assign the “greater than” math symbol to the problem.

Base 10 counting blocks are a great tool to use when comparing numbers for 1st grade, but other visual tools are effective when teaching this math skill.

The Kid’s Academy comparing numbers video is a great visual for instruction or reinforcement of this math concept. In the video, the student sees fun race cars zooming down a track. Each of the cars has 2 digit numbers on the side. The speaker in the video then compares the different numbers on the cars.

Students are also shown how to assign the “greater than” and “less than” math symbols correctly as well as reminded to look at the number in the tens place when first making the comparison. Furthermore, students are shown several racing cars and have ample opportunity to practice comparing 2-digit numbers.

Comparing numbers for 1st grade is fun with the use of the counters and engaging videos. After instruction students are ready to compare and describe quantities and use this knowledge in everyday life.

This fun and educational video explain sorting and matching clearly and logically. This video is perfect for parents and teachers of toddlers, preschool children, and kindergarten since the explanation of the concept is easy to understand, and the animation is child-friendly. Learn the same and different for kids with our video!

The video shows the elephant character blowing up balloons and then comparing the balloons. The elephant first blows up two toy balloons that are yellow. Children learn the balloons are both yellow and the same size and shape. The elephant describes the balloons as the “same”. The elephant then blows up a red balloon. The children now learn that even though all toys are balloons and have the same shape, the red balloon is a different color. The elephant explains that the balloon is “different.” The elephant further explains the topic by blowing up toy balloons shaped like stars and demonstrates using the colors blue and pink. The concept of what is the same and different is demonstrated again.

Children also view balloon ducklings that are the same shape and color but are different sizes. The elephant clearly explains why these toys are different.

Comparison for kids is an important math skill. When children sort and compare they learn that objects are the same and different and can be organized into specific groups. When children begin doing more complex math operations this same concept applies.
If parents and teachers want to extend the learning in the video, then look for things in the child’s home or classroom environment for matching and sorting practice. Sort students in a classroom by hair or eye color. Sort students by the color or their shirts or shoes. At home match socks by color and size. Matching and sorting blocks is another great activity.
Enjoy this video and learn about attributes such as size and shape to describe objects that are the same or different.

Welcome our new video: Sorting Games | Logic Games for Kids | Sorting Objects into 2 Groups

Sorting can be made very easy for kids through some simple logic and sorting games. A human brain is always working and like that of a kid since it is like a blank canvas it is the other humans that are painting it, which means that the kids are making sense out of everything. It is the responsibility of parents and teachers to make sure that whatever they are naming these things and whatever sense they are making they are doing it right.

You can play different sorting games with the kid to clear the concept. Let me explain.

1. Sorting objects into two groups of the same color
You can make two groups of colors, for example, red and blue. Now collect some objects of these two colors and then ask the kid to put the same colored objects in one group. Help the kid along. Colors are the easiest to sort and kids can easily do it.

2. Sorting objects into two groups of the same size
Either an object is big, or it is small. When you make these two groups of small and big the kid will be better able to understand where to put each object and which goes into the category of small and which object is referred to as big. Appreciate the participation of kid and correct him/her as they make any mistake but very gently.

3. Sorting objects into two groups of the same shape
Let’s just stick to square and circle for this time. these two are the easiest to sort shapes and it would be better if the kid starts with some basic and easy shapes. Grab all the toys of your child and it’s time for some sorting based on the shape of the toy.

These are some easy sorting games that you can play with your kid. Such games maintain the interest of kid and enhance the learning process as well.

Welcome to our new videos of matching objects with animals funny and interactive.

Rounding Numbers to the Nearest 10 and 100 | Math for 3rd Grade | Kids Academy Teacherflix 4 Views • 2 years ago

Sometimes in life, it is acceptable to add or subtract numbers that have been rounded up or down to make calculations easier. In these videos, the Kids Academy teacher explains rounding numbers to the nearest ten and rounding numbers to the nearest hundred.

A real-life example of when rounding numbers is used could be:
A student needs new clothes. Her parents take her shopping and tell her that she can spend $75 on any items she likes. She immediately sees a shirt that costs $19.98. She finds a pair of pants for $27.99 and some shoes for $14.95. Does she have enough money to buy all three items?

Rounding makes the calculations easier. When the numbers are rounded to the nearest 10, they become $20.00, $28.00 and $15.00. Now the numbers are much easier to add and she determines she has enough to buy them all.

The video explains the rounding numbers rules are simple. When you are rounding numbers to the nearest ten, you look to the number to the right in the ones place. If that number is five or higher, you will round up. If the number is four or lower, then you round down. Likewise, if you are rounding numbers to the nearest 100, then look to the number on the right in the tens place. If that number is five or higher, you will round up. If the number is four or lower, then you round down.
The video teacher recommends underlining the number that you are rounding and drawing an arrow to the number to the right that determines whether you round up or down. The video provides several examples of rounding numbers as well as scenarios that require rounding numbers in real-life.

Rounding numbers 3rd grade, is a skill that prepares students to use math in their everyday lives. Teachers find these videos are a great tool that can be used for teaching re-teaching or for enrichment.

How to Play Chess - Animated Cartoon Series for Beginners | Kids Academy

Parents and teachers realize that school success and higher test scores lead to more opportunities in the secondary and college years. Chess for kids is a great way to improve higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills, and reading and math skills. Many US states and other countries around the world include chess in their curricula.

The best part about chess for kids is that all children can play at whatever level of ability they possess.
To learn chess for kids, simplified instruction is necessary. Video lessons are an effective and easy way to learn the basics of chess as the chess moves, strategies and techniques are viewed and learned in small chunks.

The learner has the option to play the video multiple times until mastery of the concept or skill is mastered. For instance, when a young player is working on how to learn chess, he or she discovers that in the opening moves of play it is important to control the center, develop your pieces and protect your king by castling.

As the child’s ability level increases, the player can begin to learn strategic moves for a quick check-mate as well as how to defend against these moves. The Scholar’s Mate is a 4-move check-mate strategy that many players learn when acquiring the basics of chess.

Viewing games that chess masters played in the past is another great way to learn the basics of chess. One such game is the Opera Game. In this game, chess master Paul Morphy demonstrates one of the best active attacking games of all time.
Teachers that encourage chess for kids in their classrooms see better results in the children’s academic performance and experience a positive classroom environment.

Parents that play the game with children at home enjoy quality time with their kids and know that playing chess helps children academically.
