Behavioral Characteristics in Classrooms

The document discusses mathematical resources available in a preschool classroom and activities to develop math skills using these resources. It lists cubes, foam shapes, and an elephant puzzle. Suggested activities include using cubes for counting and calculating, sorting foam shapes by color, using shapes to compare size and order, and ordering numbers with the elephant puzzle. The assistant explains they had students work individually to order numbers with the elephant puzzle, modeling the activity first.

show her that the
lesson is fun and
enjoyable by knowing
what attract her and
apply it to her.
The teacher should
keep them away from
each other, in circle
time and when they
play.

Table 6: Mathematical resources in the Classroom


Discuss possibilities for implementing activities using these resources with your peer
List of resources that target specific mathematical skills and concepts in the school
Mathematical Resources
found in the preschool
classroom:

Mathematics Skill / Concept that can be developed with it.

cubes

Numbers Puzzles

Counting, calculating including


more and less addition,
subtraction.

Sorting, matching according to


color

Measuring

Counting, calculating including


more and less.

Ordering

Counting

Comparing size

Ordering, sequencing, creating


patterns

fitting shapes together

Foam shapes of various


sizes, shapes, colures

Exploring on possible activities to develop mathematical


skills and concepts using these materials

Let the students solve the puzzle and


ordering it according to the numbers.

Math concepts covered throw the year:


-

Measuring
Patterns
Colors
Shapes
Counting to 100
Sorting and organized object

Let the students measure things


by using this cubes.
Ask them to sort the cubes
according to colors. and

Ask the students to make a


patterns by using color
Let them comparing the size
between the shapes.

Complete a math activity with a group of students.


- Explain what concept the children worked on?!
They worked on ordering numbers

- What recourses did they use?


They used elephant puzzle

- How did the children learn?!


They should put the numbers in order, so they connect each
puzzle with the other one

- Did they work as a group?


They worked individually

- What did you do?


I applied the activity for them and they did like me.
