In #mathematics the #ISUKinder have been working on recognising the numbers 1-10 & matching them with quantities. They did this by painting, finger painting, playing dominoes, using the abacus, writing, drawing, playing with number cards, & more! #ISULearns #IBPYP #Play

In #ISUEarlyChildhood we have been practising recognising number symbols and counting. On the light table, we matched the number symbols to the quantities of glass beads they represented #ISULearns #IBPYP #mathematics
