Fortune-tellers for learning!

November 25, 2018 / @seeanngo33 / Leave a comment

Oliver’s teacher e-mailed the other day and said that Oliver needed to practice colouring at home. We had known for a while that Oliver had trouble with penmanship and so we had spent the summer getting him to practice holding a writing utensil. Our cottage was flooded with connect the dots sheets, mazes, and pre-school … Continue reading Fortune-tellers for learning!

Mastering the Pre-K Milestones

May 13, 2018 / @seeanngo33 / Leave a comment

THE WHAT: If you are an early years teacher or parent, there are four milestones that you should be eagerly waiting for: Counting rotely The ability to recite an ordered number list, and not necessarily with any understanding! (See here for more: Learning to count…baby steps.) One to one correspondence The ability to pair an object in … Continue reading Mastering the Pre-K Milestones

Never heard of Numicon?!

January 22, 2018 / @seeanngo33 / Leave a comment

Never heard of Numicon? You’re not alone! But ever since I introduced them to our school, my love for them has grown! Numicon are number plates that represent the numbers 1-10. They are a great manipulative for the Pre-K to Grade 2 population, in that they are large, easy to grasp and manipulate, colourful and … Continue reading Never heard of Numicon?!

Establishing Benchmarks of 5 and 10 through estimation

November 26, 2017 / @seeanngo33 / Leave a comment

Much of primary math is about establishing benchmarks of 5 and 10, but have you ever stopped to wonder why those are good numbers to use? Here are a few reasons: Benchmarks of 5: We have 5 fingers (if we count the thumb!) on each hand, so a hand-y (ha!) benchmark to start with is … Continue reading Establishing Benchmarks of 5 and 10 through estimation

Tenzi Frenzy!

July 16, 2016December 2, 2016 / @seeanngo33 / Leave a comment

We are away for the summer at a cottage, with no internet or TV, which I usually love. We’ve already read lots of books, frolicked in the waves, swam to the Big Rock,  sailed to Seagull Island, canoed...dumped the canoe and had lots of good old fashioned fun; but my heart still felt the pitter-patter … Continue reading Tenzi Frenzy!

Sorting and grouping

June 29, 2016December 2, 2016 / @seeanngo33 / Leave a comment

The thing with children is they change so quickly and if you blink, you feel like you missed the moment when a major milestone was achieved. For example, Rory used to say he wanted a hangaber for dinner. Alan and I thought it was adorable, and did nothing to encourage the proper pronunciation of the … Continue reading Sorting and grouping

Making Math Meaningful with Manipulatives!

June 15, 2016December 2, 2016 / @seeanngo33 / 1 Comment

If you’re not a teacher, you may not be familiar with the term manipulatives, but you can probably infer what they are. Manipulatives are models that help children think and reflect on new ideas in math. They include resources that allow children to explore, question, guess and check, but more importantly, to play with the … Continue reading Making Math Meaningful with Manipulatives!
