Number Representations

Our students love to play this number matching game! 

Students have to match together the three representations for each number from zero to ten.

This game also helps to reinforce their number recognition in its different representations.

Playing this game can help our students to improve their counting and reinforce the one to one correspondence.

Beautiful Geometric Designs

Colouring or pasting geometric shapes on pattern mats is another fun way to learn math skills! Our children love it. During our Rain Forest theme, the students used geometric shapes to create beautiful caterpillars and butterflies.

Exploring lines, shapes and pictures by manipulating rubber bands!

Geoboards are great for allowing children to create designs and build hand/eye coordination, while developing fine motor skills, as well as basic math skills.

Here you can see some pictures of our students playing and learning with Geoboards.

Graphing

After reading “I Know an Old Lady who swallowed a Pie”, we figured out which type of pie is the favorite in our classroom. And guess what? Apple pie and Blueberry pie were tied!

Our students helped us to graph their preferences, as you can check on our classroom door.
