Here's the plan:
It is a collalorative effort between eager grandparents (or parents or
friends) and a bored and anxious shild getting ready for 1st grade.
OVERVIEW OF PLAN
Responsibilities for the Adult:
1. Install J on an available device from www.jsoftwere.com
2. Connect to a printer so that you can print pages from J
3. Meet with the child in as many sessions as possible as long as both
are interested.
4. A worksheet will follow with explanations to follow in the next
message.
5. Wear a watch (or phone) to the session
Responsibilities for Child:
1. At the beginning of each session the student will complete as much as
they can of the worksheet.
2. Student will check their worksheet and assign a number correct.
3. Student will experiment in a J terminal to explore addition problems
Colaborative effort:
1. Adult and Child (mostly the child) will discover how the workshop-sheet
is designed.
2. Enjoy the session and discuss whatever comes up.
3. Follow wherever this session goes and hopefully there will more.
The worksheet follows in the next email.

Subject: [Jprogramming] August preparation for J Teche
A plan for education:
Tama Traberman, Larry Taylor and I spoke about making changes in education.
Following that I am motivated to develop JTECH. It will envolve the
programming forum to and and mold the ideas that form the foundations of
mathematics education.
So August is preparation for GRADE 1 at J TECH . In September we will get
ideas that would support the curriculum that is planned for students in that
grade. October will be plans for GRADE 2 and so forth.
Since I am in the US, I am showing the newly developed :"Core Curriculum
(quite controversial) but at least a starting place.
Grade 1 Overview
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
* Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.
* Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship
between addition and subtraction.
* Add and subtract within 20.
* Work with addition and subtraction equations.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
* Extend the counting sequence.
* Understand place value.
* Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add
and subtract.
Measurement and Data
* Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
* Tell and write time.
* Represent and interpret data.
Geometry
* Reason with shapes and their attributes.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
I will send my plan for August in my next email which should be available
soon.
