Table 6: Mathematical resources in the Classroom

Mathematical Resources Mathematics Skill / Concept that can be developed Exploring on possible activities to develop
found in the preschool with it. mathematical skills and concepts using these
classroom: materials

One to one correspondence The teacher can put a number on the board and
the students will have to find the part that matches
that number

Counting The teacher asks the students to find two shapes

and asks them to count how many holes are there.

The students can order the blocks from the most to

Ordering the least.

Counting The teacher gives them a mathematical problem

and they use the cubes to find the answer.
pattern
The students can create their own pattern following
the teachers instructions.

Counting Add the two halves to find out the answer.

Comparing They compare between the two halves to see who

has more and who has less.

Parts and wholes The students will come up with multiple ways to
add numbers to come up with number 10
Pattern Children can create patterns using the colorful
dots.
Counting
The teacher will give them a number and asks
them to add another number.

Comparing

Counting They add the numbers on both halves and come

up with the solution
Making a problem (and solving it)
They can any two halves together, then solve it,

Classifying They will group the cubes according to shape and

color.
Counting
Using the cubes, they can use it as a visual help tp
make counting easier.

Ordering This helps them to remember the order of

numbers.
