Re: Re: OT tips for introducing numeracy - what worked for your child?

[Guest guest]

Another thing is one to one correspondence -- I'm not sure exactly what

it means but in practice it means laying the table -- a plate for you

and a plate for me. Two plates. So that numbers are not just a jingle.

Counting things as Nina says.

Other bits might be pointing to the clock when you go out " at nine

o'clock " and marking the days " It's Wednesday today so we will go to the

park " etc. And seasons " It's winter brr it's cold " . It's December soon

it will be Christmas -- you could get an advent calendar. The maths of

every day life.

Modern maths uses lots of patterns so sets are good. Lets sort all the

knives/pennies (then count them if you want). Matching pairs to teach

same/different also things that go together -- brush and dustpan.

I never had any joy with add and subtract at this age but you can do

this with real objects. Joe has got three buttons, naughty Teddie takes

one, how many has Joe got left. She used to get very cross that only one

answer was permitted.
