Learning all kinds of counting...!

Cardinal and ordinal numbers can get tricky. It’s a common mistake for our students to say “the number six question,” instead of “the sixth question.” A lot of our students tend to rely on their knowledge of cardinal numbers only, but ordinal numbers are just as important to know.Ordinal numbers tell us about position and Cardinal numbers tell us about quantity.Our Grade 1 students loved practicing their ordinal ,cardinal numbers and sight words this way through chart presentation. So we’ve added this set into both our literacy and maths centres.

Solving Shapes Puzzles!

Kids have to realize that the world around them is full of circles, squares, triangles, and more.Therefore, it is vital for them to learn shapes at a young age.Our LKG kids enjoyed this Shapes puzzle activity and we found them to be successful at identifying and matching the shapes.It was an engaging activity that worked on strengthening their fine motor skills,hand – eye coordination and preparing them for later mathematical ideas.
