Class 1 maths block : counting

We went to pd and collected some beautiful stones. I thought this would be great to start our first counting exercise. The sense of touch is great, the stones are cooling, rounded feel very nice to touch. We first group them in five then to 10 and finally to hundred. We have collected 250 stones in total. My initial wild guess was 100 over stones. So I was wrong!

We will continue to count concrete and useful things relating to the world of shanyang. Slowly would increase to one thousand. ideas for counting: rice grain, no of fingers in the family, some of his fav things perhaps. No of steps to the play ground....
