Early Math Concepts

 The past two weeks have also brought big developments in our math explorations. The students have been working diligently on counting and number recognition. During our morning circle time, we have been playing bean bag counting games, singing counting songs, and working with rubric beads. Through all of these activities the students are gaining practice in consecutive counting and they are beginning to explore one-to-one correspondence.

We have also been working in small groups with math materials, such as counting cards and number peg boards. In these activities, the children are counting objects and connecting the sum with the correct numeral. Everyone has really enjoyed the new materials and they are very proud of their growing ability to count.
