It’s starting to cool down, the rain is falling more often and the leaves will soon start to change colour… autumn is here – yay! I think it is my favourite season – love the colours!
The last 9 weeks have been incredibly busy with teaching a new year level and our upcoming wedding this weekend! I have the week to get myself organised, to my hometown and visit with family before the wedding!
But, before I get into full wedding mode, I thought I would share a few pictures of some maths activities we have done the last few weeks!
Brainstorming each number each week! The importance of a tens frame is discussed each week as well as clock times. After 9 weeks of school, my prep (kindergarten) class are able to tell the time to the hour.
Practising number formation on a whiteboard – children love it, just means I have to take photos to record what they know!
Using dyed pasta for pattern making. I simply soaked the pasta in coloured water for 10 minutes then dried the pasta out.
Making numbers and representations with play dough! Any activity with play dough is a winner with my class!
I hope you got a new idea to use with your classroom!
Love all these ideas, Alison! I think I've said it before (and if I haven't, it's totally remiss of me), but you're totally my teaching maths guru! <3
Good luck with your wedding prep. I know it'll be amazing for you!
