Communication and Comprehension
Communication and Comprehension
This activity helps in practicing the numeracy skills they have learnt and build on their mathematical understanding. Comprehension with an adult also helps to enable learners to refine their hearing and speech sound as it requires to listen and understand the content from an adult to be able to respond. This resource uses mathematical communication such as listening, speaking and understanding. It also uses movement of the body to respond.
Collaboration and Inclusion
Collaboration and Inclusion
Learners can work in pairs or groups or with an adult. For example: role play with a partner or parent or teacher. The activity can be used through verbal or by an app on smartphone or tablet. Can integrate this activity with other activities simultaneously.
Can count either from 1 to 100 or 1 to 20 in a loop, so after 20 the next number starts from 1.
Hearing to listen and number knowledge to count until 20,50 or 100 according to the growth point.
Creativity and Curiosity
Creativity and Curiosity
There are endless possibilities of moulding this activity to cater different needs of learners. Can also include a storyline to this activity to make it more engaging with sound and pictures. There are also different versions of such games using alphabets as well, where once starts counting from A and freezes in between and resumes from that letter till another “Freeze” is prompted. Dance and music is used to make it more creative and engaging whilst counting is the main element of the game.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
One could ask how many numbers can you count in 10 seconds, a minute or 5 minutes.
How many second it takes to count from a number
How time works
How many seconds hand ticks can you hear for a full circle, half or quarterly given that to complete one full rotation takes 60 seconds.
Challenge
Challenge
We can count from 1 to 100 in a sequential order or by skip counting by odd or even, multiples of 2, 5 or 10. We can also include factors and square roots to make it more challenging as learners progresses.
Counting can be used in different contexts as each new pair of sets can be changed in a sequence.
1,2,3,,8,9,10 - what are the missing numbers in the range
ABCDEFG - 1234567 , count from letters H to M in equivalent of numbers
