Guest Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 When playing with pebbles a little boy counted 5 (1:1 correspondence) then said "If we get 1 more there'll be 1,2,3,4,5,6". Later I asked him to give me 6 pebbles (from a larger group) - he gave me 7, checked how many, then realised his mistake and said "So we need to give one back". After taking the lunchtime register and counting 2 children for a school dinner, the same little boy said "So that means 3" and held up 3 fingers (without prompting) as another child arrived and wanted a school dinner too. He has shown confidence in almost half of the 40-60+m statements for number - he arrived in January and is now only 39m. During his initial assessment he counted 1:1 to 20 and recognised numerals 1-5. He is a very confident little boy in all areas of his learning. Where would you put him in terms of his mathematical development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I would put him in 40-60 and as developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
