In our Problem Solving activity today we had to think what the number 6 meant to us.  We came up with lots of things like the shape of the number, like an upside down 9, six objects and even the colour green.

We then used counters to make 6 in different ways and discussed the fact that it does not matter what order the counters are in. We still arrive at the answer 6.

Being able to make numbers in different ways can help us with our counting.
