Ducklings: Matching colors

We played a color matching game in the Construction Room. The students were given pom-pom balls, beads and crayons of different colors and given the task of matching each object to cups of the same colors.  They had a great time! 

Purpose: To develop their early math abilities.

                    To develop their motor skills. 

The Lpfö we have been working on:

To develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction, and the basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurements, time, and change.

To develop their mathematical skill in putting forward and following reasoning.

Penguins having a math activity

Feeding the shape bags.

Today we had a math activity of different shape and color bags, the children had to pick a shape and feed the right bag. They either fed in the same color as the bags or fed in the same shape as the picture on the bag.

Some children didn’t want to participate because the bags look different but with a bit of push from the teacher the tried to.

Purpose

To develop the early math abilities

LPFÖ 2010 Revised

• Develop their understanding of shapes,location,color and direction.
• Develop their ability to listen and try to understand

Ducklings: Math/ Using Heart Shapes to Make a Fox Face

We talked about the wild animal fox by showing flashcards and videos to the children so they learned what does a fox look like and what kind of sound they make. Later, we talked about shape hearts and made a fox face with different sizes of heart shapes! all the kids were excited and willing to come into the front to put the heart shapes as different parts on the fox face.

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

To develop their early math skills.

To develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction, and basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurements, time, and change.

Ducklings Math: Learning and putting different shapes on a letter "Z" Zebra

As we talked about the zebra and also that the zebra have different type of stripes shapes rectangular and triangular we also mentioned that Zebra starts with a “Z”. The children glued the different shapes onto the letter “Z”.  Each child got their turn to come in the front to pick a certain shape to paste on by themselves.

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

To develop their early math skills.

To develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction, and basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurements, time, and change.

To develop their constructive skills.

Ducklings: Math, Putting Different Shapes on a Sea Turtle as Shell Patterns

Last tuesday we talked about different shapes (circle and triangle). We made a big turtle with a empty shell design, which the children could design by sticking green paper shapes onto the turtle shell. The ducklings kids were very activated to come into the front to take part in the activity by turn. Some children can even say the word "turtle" very correctly. We are so proud of your children!

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:
