Playful Learning with Spielgaben is our monthly post sharing Spielgaben in action, this month we have a MATH PLAY post for you as we have been really enjoying the new math guide! If you missed the introduction to this series, you can see it here and also see links to our past posts. We were given the Spielgaben set to review and are honored to have them as a blog sponsor. I will be sharing once a month a detailed post featuring Spielgaben. You can also see my Learning with Ladybug posts to see what my daughter has done with this learning set!
This month we used a few math activities to learn and review addition. These are all from the new Math Guide. Below you can see screenshots from the pdf file we used. She absolutely loved all of the lessons!
For this lesson, the circles were the egg carton and the spheres were the eggs. You can see through the photos how the lesson progressed as we worked on making 10.
After just using the manipulatives for awhile, we then added in the addition fact written on the dry erase board.
She then moved on to doing the activity on paper only, figuring out the missing number to make 10.
Here’s a video clip of this in action…
How many are missing was a BIG hit! We started with just 6 balls, and used those to work together.
We went back and forth together taking turns hiding.
We then moved on to 10 small dots, making it a bit harder.
She really loved this!
Here’s a video clip of us in action…
For this lesson, we had a stick and 10 “marshmallows” which was a big hit! I told her how many I was going to eat, and then she had to figure out how many she would get.
“If you get 3, I get 7, 3+7=10!”
The lesson got a bit advanced and I wasn’t sure how she would do with it, but she did great! It moved from adding two numbers to adding two and figuring out the missing 3rd number to make ten.
We pretended her little bird was the other one eating marshmallows and we had to figure out how many he got after she knew what we got.
If you get 3, I get 5, then blue bird gets 2! 3+5+2=10!”
