Ducklings: Feeding a Monkey with Bananas& Counting the Bananas

Last tuesday we have introduced  the wild animal monkeys to our ducklings children by showing monkey flashcards in the math and construction room. We also practiced math on counting the banana in monkey’s tummy: "How many banana does the monkey eat? "in the cozy corner. The children were very good at pasting the bananas at the Monkey’s tummy. They tried to learn that the bananas go from monkey’s mouth and then inside the tummy at last. They have also practiced to count together with the teachers. Some of the children also tried to learn math with the Monkey counting App on Ipad with the help of the teachers.

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.

FLAMINGOES MADE THEIR SPINNING WHEEL

In keeping with our changes theme,  we involved the children in this activity where they could see the colours changing in front of their eyes. For this activity the children were given a circular paper which was divided in six sections. The Flamingoes were then asked to colour each section of the spinning wheel in different colours. They  later glued these to a circular cardboard of the same size as  the paper and put a thread through the cardboard to facilitate the spinning motion.
