Mathematics at Kindergarten

This term the teaching team are conducting a short term self-review on Maths. We began by brainstorming what we thought maths was and came up with a range of terms around this curriculum domain. We have found that aspects such as number and shape have been bought to the forefront in our practise and incorporated into play with children. Today children were using a foam shapes to build castles and converstaions were had about the different shapes being used. This knowledge was then shared around other parts of the kindergarten, like when Alycia went over to the swing, held it up and said "look.. its a smily face... its a half circle!" Akex and Scott were also sharing their knowledge around measurement, more specifically height as they stood up tall beside each other - Alex couldn't believe that he was a whole head taller than Scott! PLEASE NOTE: We are having difficulty uploading photos at the moment - so sorry that we can't share the fun photos with you to make these learning expereiences even more visiable!We will see if this works next week.
