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.

Activities foccusing on Number

Room 5, October 15th, 2007

Have a look at some of our Number games. We play number pairs, spotty dogs, ladybirds, the tree game and the fishbowl game. In these games we do a lot of throwing dice and counting objects.

Stars

Look at the stars we made from lollypop sticks, matchsticks, geoboards, geostrips and straws. Now we know lots of 2D and 3D shapes.

Using a Feely Bag

We use a feely bag for guessing 2D and 3D shapes!

Making shapes

We made shapes with lots of different materials. Look at our triangles, squares, rectangles and hexagons. We used lollypop sticks, geostrips, matchsticks, geoboards and straws to make our shapes. Room 5, October 07

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.

Counting stick and number fans

Look at the fun we have with our counting stick and number fans.
