Did you know...
You can use daily
activities to develop your children’s curiosity about how numbers
and counting apply to their lives and the world around them.
Activity:
Ask your children to help
you set the table and count the number of plates and pieces of cutlery.
“Can you help mummy set
the table please? I am cooking dinner for Daddy, you, Michael and me”. Show 4
fingers and count together. “How many placemats do we need?” “Can you count 4
spoons please?” “Can you count 4 forks please?”
You can also introduce
the concepts of addition and subtraction.
“Auntie Sarah is joining
us for dinner tonight. How many placemats do we need?” Show 5 fingers and count
together. “Excellent counting. Can you add one more placemat to make it 5
placemats please?” “Can you count 5 spoons please?” “Can you also count 5 forks
please?”
