Take 1 or 2
This activity focuses mainly on counting (1,2). To cater to children with the higher ability, using the same activity, we can challenge them by finding the bad number.
From this, i learnt that activities should always have different levels to challenge children's thinking. It is important as teachers to be able to observe the children in the class and give differentiated instructions to cater to different needs.
Magic Dice
Another 'magical' activity which integrates addition, finding patterns and communicating math ideas!
How Children learn Math
Children learn through the CPA approach (Jerome Bruner)
1. Concrete Experiences
2. Pictorial
3. Abstract
Children will not learn anything by memorizing.
"Using memory to learn is using the HUMAN WEAKNESS to learn."
(That's why we invented paper to jot things down!)
