Fireman Sam Number Rescue

In preparation for preschool we played a game with magnetic numbers and fireman Sam with a helicopter and helipad.

I placed the one set of numbers in order on the chalkboard for him to match up to.

He had to identify the number and collect it from the helipad and place it in the harness then take it to the chalkboard to match it up to.

He enjoyed playing and was pleased he matched up the numbers. He still doesn't recognise all the numbers but definitely made progress.

Acorns and playdoh math

On our walks Dylan has noticed acorns on the floor. We collected some on our last walk and decided to get them out while he was playing with playdoh.

He made acorns and had to match the number of real acorns to the playdoh ones.

Then he counted then.

Then he had to subtract them.

Then he had to add them.

He did extremely well at this I was very impressed.

Then he had to add them all together.

I have seen the acorn tops being used to imprint circles that could be used in numeracy.
