Primary 1 have been learning about and enjoying Number Talks. They have explored different dot patterns of five and six. They shared with the rest of the class their strategy for knowing how there was five or six dots. The children enjoy using hand signals of a closed fist for thinking, a thumbs up if they have a strategy and lastly a thumbs up, little finger up if they agree with someone else’s strategy. After our number talks the children have been exploring different dot patterns in a ten frame with a partner. Here are some photos of the children.
