More number activities in Senior Infants

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
We are having a lot of fun with numbers.  Today we took out the number hopscotch and teacher played games with it.  We played a game where one person from each team had to compete to find and stand on the number teacher called.  The team with the most wins was the winning team.  
The other game we played was called "sound of a number".  Teacher dropped crayons into a tin, we had to listen well and then figure out how many crayons were in the tin.  This took quite a lot of concentration.

Human Numberline

We made a human numberline from 0 to 9 with our number fans.
Teacher gives one person a task: to find the number 5 (for example), or to find the number after 8 etc.
If that person can find the right number they can now take the card and join the numberline in the correct place, while the original number holder has to sit down. 
Everyone got lots of turns at this game.  It was fun.
