MATHS....NUMBER

I love thinking of neat ways for my akonga to learn about number and these pipe cleaner were tu meke! They really enjoyed manipulating the pipe cleaners to make their numbers. I found it a really effective way to teach number formation, how to read numbers, order numbers and we also talked about numbers before and after.  Some extension activties included getting an akonga and a friend to put their numbers together to make a big number, finding them on a hundreds board and talking about the numbers before and after
