We have had a wonderful start to the year exploring what we know about ‘place value’.  We began by working as a team to sort objects by different categories and counting how many were in each set.  We used our ‘comparison’ vocabulary to make observations about the different sets.  We reminded ourselves how to count objects and actions accurately.  We have also been practicing to read numbers as words and making amounts using a variety of equipment.  We explored numicon, base ten and bead strings to create amounts.
