Math & Literacy

We are now working with 'teen' numbers. Bella is choosing which material (rocks,bead,or pompoms) she will count '13' of to fill the jar.

Ronny counted out 11 pompoms.

Zalman is tracing sight words with a bingo marker.

When Ronny was called up to circle the 'Mem's' on our snack board she included the 'Mem Sofit!'

These pattern play blocks are a great introduction to math concepts like sorting, matching, symmetry, congruence and fractions. Its unusual angles in the ends of the blocks make it a work that requires deep thinking and build spatial skills

Shmuli and Ofir worked hard to complete the design they chose. When they compared it to the card, they realized something was off. They figured it out and changed it. Can you find the difference?

 Often the children will try to fit a block in a triangular area just based on visual cues. Then the child realizes something is not correct according to the picture. It takes multiple times of thinking of new ways to try to fit it. Its amazing to watch them think and brainstorm. Like Ofir said, 'This is hard!'

But so gratifying when figuring it out!
