I love seeing all their work. At what point does a child move from addition with the golden bead material to addition with the stamp game?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great question - It really comes down to the child and at which point he is searching for something "new and different." I also make sure the child has had sufficient experience with with both static and dynamic addition with golden beads. In my experience, by the time a child is ready for the Stamp Game, they may also have already done multiplication with golden beads as well... Also, they have to be comfortable writing numbers for Stamp Game. Occasionally, there will be a child who is capable of the Stamp Game, but not necessarily writing numbers yet. In that case, I provide a set of number stamps so the child may "write" the numbers by stamping. I hope this helps! Sasha
ReplyDeleteI love the clothespins and felt activity for older toddlers. I'm sure my preschooler would love to help her brother with that work! What a great suggestion. Thank you!
