This week we have been playing a game called 'Toss the Chips' that combines our abilities to sort, count, and compare. In pairs, we collected 10 counters, a circle and a work mat. We took turns tossing the 10 counters, then sorting and counting them to determine which colour had MORE. We then changed the game slightly by focusing our attention on which colour had LESS. We also introduced wooden numerals to match with the groups so we could visualize the quantities in a different way. As we become more consistent with using the language 'less' and 'more', we will experiment with larger numbers for comparison. The game 'Toss the Chips' will also lay the foundation for exploring how numbers can be combined and partitioned.
