Today in math Analise counted the days of the week, the number of days so far this month, and the months of the year. We try to incorporate numbers into everything we do. Each morning she likes a cup of tea. I have her find the right numbers to turn on the microwave and then we count down from 60 until it is done.
For math practice Analise was excited to use the computer. Together we played a game on Brain Pop Jr. The game introduced the concept of adding on which teaches the idea to start with a certain amount of objects and add 1, or 2, or 3 to get a total. She also wanted to do another dot to dot but wanted to use the computer and not a pencil. We found one that went to 114. She found all the numbers and connected all the dots to make a rooster. It was pretty tricky maneuvering the mouse. I was very impressed with her fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, determination to finish, and ability to locate all the numbers.
