Although my tots can count to 30 the concept of all those numbers gets lost if you do not assist them in making a visual connection to those numbers. So this is what we did.
I had the tots place their hands over the hands on the page we created. Then I had them count out loud their fingers on each hand. Some breezed by doing this activity - others did struggle. I will leave this out for the tots to practise whenever they have an urge to do so.
This is how my daughter learned her fingers for piano! :)
ReplyDeleteI love things that teach across all avenues!
DeleteI really love how you can expand on this activity, especially when introducing beginning addition and subtraction.
