Aurora and I
have been tackling teen numbers for some time now. Thank you Curious George for reinforcing those tricky teens
using hopscotch! We captured the
momentum to make a game for ourselves.
A couple of colored index cards later, Aurora was sequencing number
cards across the floor. For the
teens, I wrote ten “10” cards so that Aurora could place the appropriate digit
in the ones place.
Wow, was this
game a success! An hour later we
were still bouncing from number to number. Of course, Aurora created most of the rules: the coin had to be entirely on the
card, no walking allowed – only hopping, each player had to complete the entire
course each turn.
So much math.
So much laughter. So much
energy expelled on a snowy indoor afternoon.
