Counting On

This week in mathematics the Prep Neighbourhood has been focused on the concept of 'counting on from the larger number'. In our workshops we played a game called 'Around the World'. The game begins when 2 dice are rolled at the same time and the players add the 2 numbers together as fast as possible. The children were encouraged to identify the highest number first and to count on from that number to add the lower number and therefore find the total. The children have thoroughly enjoyed this game and may like to play with you at home.
