Mathematics

 

This week we will continue with adding and then move into a little of subtraction next week. This will mainly be completed through some finger plays or using the children to reenact some problem solving questions. For example, there were 4 children in the circle and then 4 more children came. How many children were in the circle altogether. I want the children to understand with addition there is one number and then another number and then we count how many altogether. For the SK children I am hoping they will put the first number in their head and then count on. I also want the children to understand that with addition the altogether number becomes larger.
