Our Human Number Line


Senior Infants in Room 5 are practicing the words before and after. We are using the number line and deciding where numbers come on the line. We have a human numberline and we play a swapping game. For instance someone who has no number can swap with the person who has the number that comes before 8 etc.

Our Data Chart of the Smartest Giant in Town

Senior Infants, Room 5
Teacher read us the story of The Smartest Giant in Town. All the animals in the story needed the giant's clothes. We had to decide which animal needed the clothes most. We put the animals we chose on a chart. We can see that the class mainly felt that the giraffe needed the tie more than other animals needed the clothing they got. Well done to the giant for sharing so well!

Number activities for senior infants

These games are played in pairs. The player with the higher number wins the counter. The player with the most counters wins the game.

This fish game is like bingo. We take turns to pick a fish each and count its spots. If I have a fish with that number in my fishbowl I can keep the fish I picked. If not I have to put him back. The winner is the person who fills their fishbowl first.
