The Harvest Festival by Ferdinand Tang
The Harvest Festival - A Story about Nun Nine. Hello, my dears, Nun Nine here. I have been busy preparing for the annual Harvest Festival. Come count how many different types of food I have collected and look for the hidden number 9 on each page. This series of stories is aimed at pre-school children exploring numeracy in everyday situations. Following National Curriculum Key stage 1. Math, Geography, Science, Language, Team work and Cooperation. Number Town is a unique, numeracy-based approach to mathematics for 3-6 year old children . Its information-rich Number Image concept transform plain black numbers into child-friendly pictogram characters, who live in an imaginary place called Number Town. By translating number facts into engaging stories, children are motivated to listen, to think, to remember and to learn. These stories explain counting, addition, subtraction, sequence, time, shapes, movement and simple multiplication quickly developing the building blocks of early years mathematics. Using number characters like Sally Seven the Sports Star or Policeman Ernie Eight and actions to teach numeracy is supported by scientific research. The Number Town approach is also in-line with research on memory techniques and the way we learn. (mnemonics) Each Number Town character has a recognisable personality living in a realistic environment where math is used in every day life. By integrating math into real life situations provides children with a motivating framework for learning speaking and listening. These simple stories about the Number Town characters and their lives, engage attention, develop listening & speaking skills and expand children's awareness of numeracy skills. Subjects such as geography and science and their close relationship with mathematics are explored. (c) Jane Hague 2010, 978-0-9806737-4-6 www.123numberfun.com| SKU | Unavailable |
