Welcome to Moving on Monday Club
especially for nursery children moving on to Primary 1.
We’ll be here every Monday to share activities, ideas and challenges to help you get ready for P1.
Can you RECOGNISE numbers?
Learning to recognise numbers is a practical skill that lasts a lifetime. It’s good if your child can show an interest in numbers, such as ‘my age and my door number’.
Games and play are the best ways to learn numbers.
Numbers are all around us. Look around your house-you will see lots of numbers on clocks, phones, recipes, magazines. Where else do you see numbers?
OUTSIDE your house there are lots of numbers too.
Here is a wee quiz. Look at these numbers around Beattock.
Can you spot them?
It’s great that your child can count and recognise some numbers. These are super skills. Even more important though is that your child learns something called 1:1 correspondence. This is when you use your finger to touch objects as you count. It’s like slow motion counting!
Here is a video for parents.
Some of you will have children who can count really well. Here is another skill that we learn at nursery and Primary. It’s called SUBITIZE! Pronounced Soobitize! Here’s a catchy song. A great way to learn to subitize is to play games with a dice.
