Number activities (Senior Infants, Room 5)

Counting stick

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010We use the counting stick in Maths, for practicing saying our numbers between 0 and 10. Each number has its place on the stick, and we say the number as teacher (or a helper) points to the stick. It is fun saying our numbers like this. We can also tell teacher which number comes before or after another, or which number is in between two numbers.

Human Numberline

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Teacher gave out number cards (numbers 0 to 9). We had to arrange ourselves into a human numberline. Then we gave orders to each other: Can you get me the number 7? Can you find the number after 5? Can you get the number between 7 and 9? Can you find the number before 1? When we found the right number we were able to change places. This game is a lot of fun.

Numberline activity game

We played a new game in class. It is a game where you position numbers on the empty numberline, after hearing "clues" from someone calling them out. For example, one of the children will call out a clue like: I'm thinking of the number after 6, or I'm thinking of the number between 1 and 2, and we have to find that number and put it on the numberline. This game is fun!
