Math
 
Continuation with creating the various combinations for numbers from 8 to 10. This is reinforced by using the game shake and spill. The children have a small container with 8 double sided counters (red on one side, yellow on the other side). They shake the container and carefully spill out the counters. Then they colour how many yellow counters there are and how many red. They continue with this same process until all the combinations have been found. The children love math games because they really don't know that they are learning their numbers and other mathematical understandings. When we were working on the number 6 a few of the Kindergarten children shouted this is fun. When I explained that Math is great fun, they were shocked to learn they were doing math. Now that is fabulous learning on their part!
