Christmas data in Senior infants

Friday, 16th December 2011

Today we chatted about our favourite Christmas things.

Of course we all love Santa and Christmas presents, but these weren't choices for us.

Look at what we chose:

We counted and compared the groups, saw which had most and least, saw "how many more" or "how many less" there were in some groups as compared with others.

We learned lots of maths from this activity.

More work with the numberline

After jumping along the numberline yesterday, we moved on to using a smaller numberline and jumping along it with our fingers.  It is a really easy way of figuring out difficult puzzles, like what do you get if you add 3 and 5!

Addition: Jumping on the number line, Senior infants

We are learning to add two numbers together by jumping on the number line.
We have a hopscotch number line in our classroom.  Teacher asks us a question (like 3+4), we have to figure out the answer in our head, then jump along the number line to see if we have got the right answer.
This is a lot of fun, and we get the answer right almost every time.

Using our class for addition: Senior infants

WE USED 2 HOOPS AND OUR CLASS MADE UP DIFFERENT SUMS BY JUMPING IN AND OUT OF THE HOOPS........2+2 MAKES 4! 0+4 MAKES 4!
