Fraction (half & whole) & understanding tens & hundred quantitatively

23rd October 2013

In this session focus was to introduce buddies to fractions through experiential activities so they

• incorporate their senses
• invite them to experiment and make observations
• let them learn at their own rate, and
• allow them time to investigate a topic further

I avoid worksheets to teach concepts so with the activities designed they are able to visualize fractions and understanding that fraction segments are equal parts of a larger object. These skills are necessary for more advanced fraction concepts in future.

 

Sorting, Counting, Understnding tens & Addition

7th October 2013

Sorting is a way to organize and make sense of their environment. Sorting or classifying is a beginning math skill that expands into sorting data into groups or sets in the elementary years. Sorting helps children understand things are alike and different which is vital to learning , analyzing and understanding different texture, color, shapes, color, quantity etc....This type of thinking starts them on the path of applying logical thinking to objects, mathematical concepts and every day life in general.
