Learning Area: Math

Learning Observed

We having been learning about the different ways to create teen numbers using beans and cups. We began by taking ten beans and putting them into one cup. Scarlett took her ten beans and put them together to make one set of ten. We discussed how it is important to remember that the cup will always have ten beans in it if we don’t take any out. I asked Scarlett to hold the number ten in her head and then to add two more beans to the other cup. I asked what maths tools she had used to find out what ten and two more was. She told me that it is 12 and that she counted the beans. Scarlett was able to create ten and five as well as ten and four.
