Learn to recognize numbers game for preschoolers

I just wanted to share a little "game" that helped my 3-year old preschooler to recognize her numbers. It's SO simple!

Learn to recognize numbers - simple game

Basically you just pick numbers, calling out their names, and taking turns.

Hi! Love yr blog... and yr obvious passion for teaching. I've a toddler and I started doing the alphabet game with him and he's started recognizing a few of them. That really feels good as he has not yet started communicating well. He loves to count too...He begins with a slow 'onnnnne'...It's like he already knows he's onto something big...Thanks!

Miss Maria Miller:
we will comment on his blog, we find that is a website that integrates several elements for mathematical use because it contains info from beginners to advanced, and has constant updates. In his blog we were able to learn different methods of teaching, one of the following methods in particular is "Learn to Recognize numbers game for preschofers.
We greatly appreciate your article because your content is useful and helpful because it is a fun and practical way to teach preschool children to a realization of the numbers and also know your way to sort them in growing numbers, as generally are taught in a school.

Yours sincerely, student teachers in mathematics and computers, Universidad Catolica del Maule, Chile

Many times simple tools and games are the best. When they're over-complicated then they're not as fun or useful. How long did it take her to learn to count?

It's been too long ago, I don't remember anymore how long it too her. But she seemed to catch on real well.

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see it as 4

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next
