Let's go shopping!
What Happened.......
Today we created a role play activity outside. We collected all the old boxes from around the preschool and the teachers brought some in from their homes. Mikayla brought a till in from her home and encouraged all the children to take turns being the shoppers and the shopkeeper. We used different ways of counting to figure out how much items were and used simple addition, and asking a few questions to help get them thinking.
Teaching strategies.....
By providing the resources they could re-enact supermarket adventures they have and relate it to their home experience.
I gave simple instructions of how we had to put the boxes back so the next person could experience the same - the children followed the instructions set out and had lots of fun doing this.
What’s the learning.....
The children worked alongside their teachers and other friends to problem solve simple mathematics equations.
For the younger children, they could look at the till and see numbers and be exposed to more numbers while counting to 10 with the help of both of teachers and other children.
