Representing Numbers

We have been practising making numbers and representing them in different ways. First, we pick a number off the calendar and we begin:

Number Line: I add the chosen number on the number line with a few other numbers. The children have to figure out which numbers are missing. I leave blank spaces before and after the chosen number.

Number: We practise making the numbers using number rhymes. The rhymes will be coming home soon for you to practise at home.

Picture: We draw a picture to represent the amount. Here Zander drew 8 pools. We discuss the importance of leaving space when drawing so it makes it easier to count. We also talk about how important it is to draw small and easy things when we have to draw a lot of them.

Tally Marks: The children are getting good with tallying. We try to incorporate in their play during activity time to record things.

Ten Frame: Before we mark off the boxes on the 10 frame we try to guess how many blank boxes we will have left.

Practise this activity at home!
