Maths The Four Processes

Staring Minus mouse he is always giving his nuts away..............
planting to grow trees and feeding other hungry animals......................


Taking away nuts..........................


Jaiden had an inspiration to make this game box up
taking nuts away really was fun to do....................

A picture inspired by Jaiden to draw after working with Addition Mouse...

Addition Sums.................................

Staring Addition Mouse who was given his name by the
Wise Old Owl who came and helped him to add his pile
of nuts he had gathered.............................

Doing Addition sums with nuts....................


~~What I am seeing~~
Each day with have been active counting by clapping hands,throwing balls,stepping
Singing lots of counting songs...I have been so amazed at the awakening awareness
within the children of how the four processes work and the ideas they come up with.
To me it is so precious to be a part of this and to give them the space and time
to express themselves in the ways they are inspired to.............................
Even if that means doing learning dressed as a witch and knight
to me this is a true childhood..................................................


First we made number cards up and put them on the wall behind our
maths land..............................
