Ducklings: Math activity

We had circle time in Math and Construction room. We played a game called ‘Number Triangle’, where we made triangle and round shapes using construction paper. With colored sticky balls, the children had to match the round shapes on the triangle with the correct color and, finally, count how many balls were there. They were very excited about it and all did a great job! :-)

Purpose:
Develop their early math abilities.
Develop their motor skills.


Lpfö 2010 revised:
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.

Flamingoes Exploring the Sense of Taste

Flamingoes Exploring the Sense of Taste

The Flamingoes learned about the sense of taste  and their taste buds !!! The children were given the opportunity to experience the four basic tastes. They were blindfolded and  they got to taste various ingredients. They described what it taste like -  sour, bitter, sweet or salty . Then they guessed what they think it is. They had fun with  the taste experiment and many did not want it to end !!!!

We talked about how our senses work together eg. we use our  sense of smell when tasting different flavors. So when we can't see the food or smell it, often we  can't guess what we are eating.
