Curriculum Overview
It is safe to say that most children beginning grade one already know how to count. But counting is only one element of numeracy. This unit will give you an opportunity to bring each number from 1 – 10 to your child in connection with what makes it up, where it is found in nature, how it is composed, how it can be decomposed, and where it belongs. You will tell stories, play games and look around in nature to become absorbed in the world of numbers.
Parent Preparation
You will find links to stories throughout this unit. Some of these stories are audio only, some are videos. You must assess what is right for your family in using these, they are meant to be for your use in preparing.
