Beginning Math

This week we have been learning about the numbers 1-5. Each day we learned about a different number and how to count and represent it.

We started by learning how to count the numbers. We used counters to practice one to one correspondence as we counted. We also discussed different ways to represent what we counted. We might color in boxes, use counters, or draw pictures.

Next we learned what the number looked like in both number and word form. We practiced writing our numbers using skywriting and dry erase boards. We also used our fingers to "vote" to answer "how many" questions. This was a great introduction to counting and numbers and will be a great thing for us to build on as we move on in our math curriculum.
