Counting with Robots

We did some fun counting, but not just counting, counting with robots!

Learning while playing is the best way to learn, and that is exactly what this activity is about. My 4 year old boy took out the robot toys and used one robot to count a number line. We used our upcycled spool chalk table to write a number line. The robot then counted while moving forwards and backwards.

Then, I drew six circles(because we have six robots) and played that the robots were put into jail. The number one ‘jail’ has only place for one robot, the number two ‘jail’, two robots and so forth. The jail idea was purely my 4 year olds idea, lol!

My boy had to recognize the number and add the corresponding number of robots in the circle jail.  Language development took place incidentally while using mathematical vocabulary like: “more”, “less”, “take away”, “altogether” etc.

A simple number activity but done in a playful manner. The best way to learn, while playing!
