Les mathématiques à la maison: October 14th to 18th

This week we will continue exploring various components of the Numeracy strand in math. We will continue to work on skip counting, couting by 2s, 5s and 10s. If you have time after dinner one night, go for a walk up one side of your street with your child and count the numbers on the houses ( of course, it's preferable if the houses are numbered as low as possible! ). Walk back on the opposite side of the street and discuss the house numbers on that side of the street, try skip counting along with the house numbers.

We will also be discussing numbers that come before ( avant ) and after ( après ). Find a book that has numbered pages. Open the book to a random page. Ask them to say what page number they have opened to, what number is before that one, and what number comes after it. Have your child open the book to another random page and give the same information to them.

For a challenge, open to a random page number and ask your child to start counting by 2s ( 5s? 10s? ) from that page number.
