Fish or Number ?

                            Kay has been showing strong interest in Math. Although she likes the numbers and matching activities, when I ask her what it is she is holding in her hand she dosn't know its' a number. Karen Tyler who has a wonderful  worldwide online training course at A Montessori Marketplace has this activity in her Math album.
                                                         Fish or Number

The child is to sort the fish from the number . The aim is for the child to be able know what a number is. In the container there are different numbers and the same kind of fish all alike.

Kay is doing matching number work.

         Here she is after her presentation on the work

 Now she is proudly admiring her work.

  

After Kay completed this activity a couple times, she now says "number" , "fish" while she is sorting. Kay is enjoying this activity and is very good at it.
