Children need practice with objects in lots of different arrangements. In particular, circular and scattered arrangements are harder to count one-by-one. Children can also play with these cards in different ways: covering dots, copying the patterns, matching cards, finding a certain card, and figuring out one more or one fewer.
Children can use this as inspiration to make their own illustrations with dots at the art table. For a home link, teachers can send home the mini-book Can You Find?
On each page children try to find the card with a certain number of dots. Children play Jumping on the Lily Pads with a lily pad number-path board, dot cubes, and frog game pieces or other tokens. This game helps children develop a mental number line and understand that whole numbers are spaced equally along a number line.
The more that children develop a mental number line, the more prepared they are for the math tasks that await them in kindergarten.
To play the game, children take turns rolling the dot cube and moving their frogs along the game board. The goal is to be the first to reach the pond. While playing this game, children are practicing numeral recognition, using one-to-one correspondence when moving on the board , and using vocabulary such as before , after , closer , further.
Jumping on the Lily Pads give students experience with a mathematically crucial tool—the number line—and strategic use of that tool. As you introduce more math into your classroom, be positive!
Your attitude matters, so have fun introducing and integrating math activities. Use books and games to promote playful math experiences. Kristen E.
