Mathematics: Number Recognition for Beginners

It's the time of the month for a new activity for mathematics so you can keep your child busy counting!

This is another activity to strengthen the child's number recognition skill.

WEEK 6: MATHEMATICS

TOPIC: NUMBERS

Note: This activity helps a child to understand the meaning of numbers by counting the circless and also to recognise the digits.

PROJECT: NUMBER RECOGNITION ACTIVITY WORKSHEET

Note: One number for each page of worksheet

1. Prepare A4 papers (white), labelling stickers of the same shape and colour, marker pen, print out numbers (please refer to picture B) and print out the numbers in words or in any language(s) you want to use.

2. Draw a box at the bottom half of the paper (as seen in Picture A).

3. Take a sheet of labelling stickers and write two different numbers on the stickers. Please refer to the stickers in Picture A. Here, you can see that I have the numbers "5" and "6".

4. Since my daughter was doing number "5" here (based on the pictures), you can see that I have put 5 stickers at the top right of the worksheet.

Now, we are done with the preparation.

5. Start the activity by getting the child/student to count the number of stickers on the worksheet. (Picture A)

6. Then give her two numbers to choose from. This is to see if she could recognise the number she is looking for. (Picture B)

7. Next, the child/student would stick the number at the top left of the worksheet, followed by the word. Here, we have the English language "five" and Chinese character "五". (Refer to picture C)

8. Lastly, the child/student would choose the correct numbers from the stickers sheet and put them in the box. (Refer to picture D)

If you tried out this activity with your child/student, please let us know the results.

Mongo Plant vs Garlic Plant

A few years ago my son was into growing plants and asked if he could grow some flowers. We did not have any flower seeds at home and I suggested that he plant some mongo seeds instead. The other reason I told him to grow mongo seeds is that they grow very fast and kids are not very patient at waiting for results. So everyday, as we leave the house for school (he was attending kindergarten then) he would look at the plants and say, "Mommy! They are growing!" A few days after we planted the mongo seeds, I suggested that we plant some garlic. This time, unlike the mongo seeds that showed some growth immediately on the following day, the garlics showed none. Two days after we planted the garlics, we went on a short vacation and when we returned, he saw some changes to the garlic plant and shouted, "Mommy, look! The garlics are growing!" Two weeks after that, we found time to do some detailed observations on the plants. We compared the roots and ...

Stress Free Mode

Now, as I typed on my laptop, my 5 year-old daughter sits in front of me, doing her own work. She is doing something on her own. Something that no one tells her to do. It is 100% at her own will. She is copying from a storybook. It is a Malay storybook she borrowed from school. And she is trying to read as she copies. She is smiling as she tries to read the words and although she still struggles with many of the words, she is smiling while she tries. Once in a while, she would ask me how to pronounce a certain syllable. And now, she is singing out the words she copies. _________________________________________________ This scene, right in front of me, is the result of an important lesson I learnt a year ago. I learnt that, for effective learning to take place, the learner should be in a "stress free mode". And for them to be in that mode, it most probably has to be something they find interesting or rather, something they w...

A Different Kind of Love For Food

I love food! Who doesn't, right? But I don't just love food. Anything related to food would always catch my attention. From street food to hotel food, from food menus to food art and craft. As such, I am sure you could guess my favourite department to shop at the mall. The grocery section! My son inherited my love for food and he is more open to try new food and he really enjoys his food. On the other hand, my daughter is a picky eater. She is very particular with tastes and textures that sometimes left me wonder what went wrong during the cooking process that she wouldn't even eat the food that she would usually eat. Like scrambled eggs for instance. If the quality of the egg is not so good or perhaps too much soy sauce or perhaps the heat wasn't high enough when I pour the eggs in so it changes the output. Anyway, instead of being annoyed with it, I learnt to take it as a challenge for me to improve my cooking which also includes being consistent at all times. Phe...
