Maths - June 2014

To prepare for the math test later in the week, we reviewed "telling time" and each child (as you can see) was given their own clock to show me the time I asked them to show me. We did this over a period of two days.

Also in preparation for the math assessment, we reviewed "sequencing" (the ordering of real life events) both orally and with this game I happened to find at the Early Learning Centre Store. It happened to combine telling time with putting a child's school day in order. It was great practice for the test and almost everyone did perfectly on it! (and, they enjoyed learning it as a group!)

Lastly, we reviewed shapes before the test and for the sections that were difficult and still needed review after it, we had some "volunteer teachers" try to explain it in a "child's language."  We  also learned through songs, videos and demonstrations using the shapes we have. We will continue to do this in preparation for Year 3.
