ALL ABOARD: WE’RE GATHERING STEAM

This week’s area of focus is MATH, we are teaching basic math skills with a useful visual. For this activity, your child will learn how to count, add and subtract, by using a helping hand!

You’ll need:

  • A rubber glove
  • Beans or other small items
  • Elastic band
  • Whiteboard/chalkboard or paper
  • Markers/chalk or crayons

The first step is to fill your rubber glove with beans. You don’t want to fill it too much or the fingers will not bend easily. Wrap the elastic band on the wrist end of the glove to close it up tightly. Now place the new hand on a whiteboard and add in plus and minus signs in between the fingers.

You can start by folding down one of the fingers and having your child add (or subtract) the remaining fingers together.

This activity is designed to help your child with adding and subtracting numbers together. Children often use their fingers to count, so why not give them an extra hand to do it!

ALL ABOARD: WE’RE GATHERING STEAM

Here is a game that will help to teach your child about counting and making predictions. Before we start, which colour apple do you think will win the race?

You’ll need:

  • Apple Race printout
  • Paper Clip
  • Fastener
  • Pom Poms or play dough (yellow, green and red). These will be your apples.

Instructions:

Once you have your apple race printout, put the fastener through the paper clip, and push the pin through the apple pie chart. This will be your spinner. Then let the race begin. Have your child predict which colour apple will win. Take turns spinning the paper clip and add the matching coloured apple to the board. Whichever colour reaches the end first wins!

This game is easy to create and helps your child learn math concepts like prediction, counting and addition… with some fun too!
