Felix and his brother Simone were very excited about some glass nuggets they found.

First, they sorted them by colour.

Then, they counted them.

Finally, they used numbers to record the number of coloured counters they had.

Here is a game you can play with counters and dice. If you want to know how to make your own dice, you can go here.

 

CHALLENGE: Use more counters and use 2 dice (addition) to decide how many fish should be in the pond.

Through our encounters with materials we can:

• explore number names
• explore quantities
• estimate
• use one-to-one correspondence
• understand the terms more, less same as
• sort and catergorise
• problem-solve
• follow directions and rules of a game
• be persistent
