What we've been working on in Math

In math we have been working on counting to 30 in French, as well as number relationships in French.  Below are a few of the activities we have been doing to help us better read, recognize and count these numbers.  You can help your child at home by pointing out these numbers in your surroundings, discussing numbers in your everyday life (ex. your address, in your phone number, in a story, etc.) and by providing your child with different real life contexts in which to count (ex. number of shoes at the door, forks, knives, spoons, plates, and glasses when setting the table or how many cars or dolls they are playing with).  The more you incorporate discussions about numbers into your everyday lives, the better your child will be able to understand these concepts.

 Counting stickers and matching the corresponding number clips

 Here there are pipe cleaners with numbers at the top.  The students counted the corresponding number of beads and attached them to the pipe cleaners.  This is both a good counting activity and a fine motor activity.
