THE GIANT PIE

Toddlers gain interest in mathematics by participating in different series of hands-on experiences.  Parents are encouraged to introduce mathematical concepts, methods and language through active play, instead of just numerical values.

PARENTS' ROLE IN PLAY ACTIVITY

SETTING UP PLAY

Parents are encouraged to organize materials in a way that children can easily access them. It is important to remember that children should be introduced to these tools first and then allowed repeated exposure throughout time. 

PROVIDE ADEQUATE TIME

Parents are encouraged to set aside time during activity.  It is critical to provide ample time for children to plan their play and to position themselves in play. 

ENTERING PLAY

Parents can include questioning during activity. Parents should also be mindful when setting up play; it is important for the child to take ownership in designing the play.

GIVE FEEDBACK 

Parents are encouraged to praise and give encouraging words to your child after the activity. 

STEP 1: PREPARE THE MATERIALS NEEDED
Prepare the materials needed such as wabi sabi play tools, pom-poms and number cards or sticks. 
STEP 2: GET YOUR CHILD INVOLVE
Invite your child to place all the colourful pom-poms in the play tray.  Use giant elastic bands or masking tape to wrap up your tray. You could also handmade a cardboard pie with your child. 
STEP 3: HAVE FUN
Invite your child to practice in using the tong and pick the pom-poms out from the tray. Introduce the number cards or colour sticks to your child, guide them to pick the pom-poms according to the selected number or colour.
