To ride on the merry-go-round, you need to get into the right cabin! This learning activity includes 2 puzzles with multiple solutions for working with numbers and number combinations through play.
• Count, build and compare number combinations up to 10.
• Build, combine and break down numerical values from 2 to 10.
• Decipher instructions, respond to clues.
• Solve basic numerical problems.
Children discover ways of arranging their puzzle and combinations of pieces to fill the boxes: for example, 5 children in a box is 4 plus 1 or 1 plus 4, or 3 plus 2 or 2 plus 3. They then complete coded activities on the cards and can correct themselves unassisted.
Activity progression
The 12 double-sided cards (24 activities) are grouped into 6 progressively increasing levels of difficulty. One side of the card can be used to correct actions on the other side. On the front: the model to recreate (template).On the back: 6 levels for reading, analysing and solving problems involve different representations of the number.
