Math in the Great Outdoors!
Posted by Faith BarbutoInstead of counting plastic counters inside at our desks, we decided to get outside in nature to practice our counting skills. The instructions were simple: find any 10 objects and bring them to the teacher. Inquiring minds asked if they needed to all be the same object. No! A chance to see that there are many ways to solve to a math problem. Our creative thinkers eagerly listed objects they might find to make a group of ten. Next we hit the playground with excited math learners counting loudly. One by one they came to me, showing off their treasure while I was able to uncover more about their counting skills and one to one correspondence. Fun, math and time in nature all accomplished on Day 2 of kindergarten!
