There are many different groups of objects on each page that show the target number, such as seven cows, seven houses, and seven trees. This week, you are going to use your homemade musical instruments (or your own instrument or your hands! This beautifully illustrated book invites children to look closely to find all the ways the illustrator has integrated number into the drawings. As you turn each page notice the clock tower marking the hours, the number of blocks on the side of the page, and how the seasons change. To encourage and develop children’s counting knowledge, here are eight books (with an accompanying download) that are common to preschool classrooms.

Thursday 24th February Excalibur Primary School: Thursday 24th February

Children can illustrate their own counting book with scenes from their daily life, count the objects on the page, and then represent the number of objects with dots or numerals. If you enjoyed the sequences activity, then you could have a go at making up your own sequences using the acorn and oak tree pictures. For example, in the case of five, there is only one train engine: Can you find one of something in the picture?A PowerPoint of the book is below) You don't need to print the dots outyou could make your own black dots or just draw them instead. Book is tight, clean, with crisp pages and no previous owner marks; NEAR FINE, in jacket with light soil (dust) and a one-eighth inch tear back bottom panel.

Please don't worry if you don't have anything to bring - you can use your own instrument - your hands! Children can find mathematical ideas from the very simple to the complex in this book and can look at the pictures over and over again. This is not so easy because the objects are scattered throughout the illustration and your child must look carefully to find them. That the blocks on the left and the written number on the right always show the number of objects to be found.Key learning in children’s overall development—including language, social, and emotional skills—grow and strengthen because of early math skills. But the seemingly simple plan of the book is deceptive: look more carefully and you will see one-to-one correspondences; groups and sets; scales and tabulations; changes over time periods; and many other mathematical relationships as they occur in natural, everyday living. With Anno's Counting Book, the creator of the brilliantly inventive Anno's Alphabet invites young readers on another stimulating adventure of the imagination--this time into the world of numbers and counting.

In Anno’s Counting Book by Mitsumasa Anno the author encourages young children to go on an exciting adventure of imagination through the wonderful illustrations. Last week, you used your own homemade instruments to play loud and quiet sounds, as well as different tempos.
