Description of Mathematics
Number Framework Stage 1
Required Resource Materials
Feed the Elephants (Material Master 5-7)
Counters, or BeaNZ, or Checkout Rapua material in the SEA kit.
Paper cups
Activity
Add single digit numbers to the “speech bubbles” on the elephants and clip them to the paper cups.
