Chapter Three: Position and Direction

In our current chapter we are exploring the following concepts:
above and below
in and out
front and back
top and bottom
left and right
before and after

Pilot mathematicians enjoyed an activity that focused on above and below. Each child had to take tuns placing their name either above or below the gray line.
To incorporate number recognition (we are working on 1-10) each student needed to correctly identify a number written on the board before they could place their name on the paper.

After everyone had a turn we were able to discuss the placement of our names and their relation to other friends names. We counted how many names were above the gray line and how many were below.
Great job friends!
