Marlin has been learning numbers as we begin his Kindergarten year. He’s been very interested in working with numbers throughout the past year and his organic learning of some basic whole to parts and beginning numeracy has been fascinating to watch as it naturally developed.
We began with the traditional straight line form drawing through story (see previous post and another a while back ‘new school year highlights’) along with organic ‘Sixth Sense’ number ‘experiences’ (in another post a little while back) through the Earthschooling program, before moving onto the number one form. Once we’d written the number one, we modelled it out of beeswax and put it onto Marlin’s school window.
