We began a math unit on numbers to twenty. We took the kids to Montazah, a beautiful garden area in the city near the beach. The kids collected shells, rocks, and other objects to count and sort later in the unit. Then they got into groups and began hunting for objects in nature that are in various numbers. One cat. Two trees. Three windows on the building, eight wooden slates on a bench. Their goal was to find a picture of every number 1-20. This group got creative for the number twelve. We didn't really need to come all the way to Montazah for this picture, but it worked. :)
*Since the trip, the kids have used google classroom to create a slideshow presentation of their pictures. They have labeled each picture from 1-20 in both word and number form. They added number sentences for each slide. And the coolest part is that by using google classrooms, they used a shared document so they each had their own computers but were working on the same presentation. I am amazed at what kids can pick up on these days. This was some major teamwork for a group of 6 and 7 year olds!
