Matching with Eshan

Eshan, today we had a maths activity set up on one of our tables. The aim of this game is to
match parts of the flowers according to its shapes and sizes on the card. Your sister, Ayra was
having a go when you came to the table to have a look at what she was doing. You were
carefully watching how she played the game and in no time you were on your way to helping
her pick the shapes and sizes. At one point of the game, you had a little difficulty
differentiating colours but we had a quick review of colours and within minutes you were on
your way. A while later, Ayra finished her turn at the game and when asking if you would like
to have a turn, you said yes with a big smile. You collected the pieces and started matching in
on the card. You had lots of learning as you share with the peers around you about the sizes
and shapes.
Eshan, you have embraced a math concept involving numbers, sizes and colours. While
you were having fun playing alongside your peers, you were learning maths skills such
as grouping, one to one matching and counting. You showered great focus, engagement
and perseverance to reach your goal, MashaAllah!
Eshan, perhaps next time you might like to choose one of our other games to play
involving different math concepts where you can extend your number knowledge and
learn to add groups of numbers.
