Day 2 Blog - Whole Number

Today topic was on "whole number".
My take away for today's lesson will be counting in 10s using Ten Frame. The advantages of using Ten Frames allow children to count one to one correspondence, learn number conservation as well as there visuality for children to learnt.

Once children were able to grasp the concept on "whole number", they are able to learn the rest like fraction in the same logical manner. E.g 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

Mathematical terms were also emphasized in today's lesson. We were taught to use the correct terms such as "less", "greater"etc when asking children to problem solve.

Below link gives us more in depth understanding on whole numbers.
