Taking on one of the most challenging concepts in early learning, Additions lends a visual approach to traditional mathematical concepts, helping to facilitate understanding, creativity, and higher-level thinking in the field of mathematics - a wonderfully designed teaching aid that can take on anything from simple counting to more challenging subtraction sums!
Place the corresponding number of objects on the pond scene as indicated on the instruction card. Encourage adding and subtracting by posing dynamic questions such as, "2 more frogs leapt into the pond - now how many frogs are there in the pond?"; or "2 dragonflies flew away - how many dragonflies are there left in the pond?"
For more advanced mathematical learners, encourage active listening through a play of words (e.g. Instead of asking how many dragonflies are left in the pond, you may ask how many animals are there left in total on the pond, which will then require them to first deduct the 2 dragonflies, and then add the other kinds of animals that are still on the pond.
