Number sense and Numeration
For the next while, our focus in mathematics will be exploring numbers from 1 to 31. Students will read and print number words, count objects, compare quantities, and describe numbers. There will also be opportunities for the children to count forward and backwards and locate whole numbers on a number line. Children will be expected to identify missing numbers on a number line. Ten frames will also be used to count to the number thirty.
Try these activities with your child:
· Read counting books together.
· Let your child count the knives, forks, and spoons you need to set the table for dinner.
· Play games such as Go Fish and War, where players need to match and compare numbers.
· Build towers out of blocks and count to see how many blocks are in each tower. Which tower has more? How many more?
