The document describes two resources for developing mathematical skills in young children: 1) Colour counting bears that come in different colours, sizes, and weights and can be used for comparing, sorting, patterning, counting, and matching. 2) Free iPad apps for counting games suitable for ages 2-6 with three difficulty levels, cute images and sounds, and scores to encourage counting from 1-5, 1-10, and 1-20. Both resources aim to help children understand basic number concepts and counting skills through play-based activities.

ACTIVITIES:

Resource 1:

3 years old:(Repeating pattern)


Children are given cards with AB patterns dots.
Say the colours for me as I point.
Put the same bears on the same colour dots.
Make the same pattern as you see in the cards/
my arrangement of pattern.
Ask children to make prediction on the next in
the pattern.
Count how many bears on the cards.
Use different colour to practice AB patterns.
Enhance activities by asking questions.

5 years old: (Repeating pattern and growing


pattern)
Copy the AB patterns and ask them to extend the
pattern.
Copy ABBABB patterns and ask them to extend the
pattern.
Describe the pattern.
Writing and drawing pattern by using number to
represent the pattern.
Make a pattern for their friends to continue the
pattern
Make growing pattern from 1-10.
Enhance activities by asking questions.
