7 thoughts on “Extra Credit Post A: Math Scenarios”
Scenario #1:
Numeracy: Counting how many toys are being put away.
Patterns: They can notice some designs on toys that they are putting away
Symbols: Kids can see pictures of different things on games or books. Drawings in books that represent something. They are able to say what they are putting away.
Understanding Relationship: Many toys are different whether it’s the color, size, or shape. They can see and describe what toys look similar or different from each other.
Scenario #2:
Numeracy: Lets say the child has apple slices, they can count how many slices there are and then once they are all gone.
Patterns: You can put the snacks in a pattern. For example cookies, apple slices, juice box, and put them in that order repeatedly. Or I can let them arrange their snacks in a pattern.
Symbols: Food can stand for feelings, beliefs, and thoughts for example, if you want ice cream, you can say that you are feeling happy. Giving reasons on why you want a particular snack.
Understanding Relationship: Kids can compare and contrast how the different snacks taste, look, the texture, also size and shapes.
Scenario #3:
Numeracy: Counting how many instrument there are in total or for an instrument you have. For example a small guitar or keyboard, count how many strings a guitar has or how many keys a keyboard has.
Patterns: For music many notes are played in a pattern so kids can be asked to play anything they want for 2 seconds and then the next kid will play and so on.
Symbols: Music to me represents your feelings so when your sad you can listen to slow songs and when happy you listen to fast songs or songs you like. Kids can pick a song on how there feeling or what they like.
Understanding Relationship: Some music can be long and others short, music sounds different depending the instrument. Kids can compare the sound each instrument makes and the different sizes of the instruments used.
Scenario #4:
Numeracy: Kids can see how long it would take to get to the park and how long they have left to play.
Patterns: Most parks include the same things like a slide, swings, sand, benches, grass, trees. They can see what each park has and compare it to what they know.
Symbols: There are many symbols at the park or when walking to it. There can be signs of trees, people walking, or a side walk. Each sign represent something like a stop sign means stop. Kids can guess what each sign is and what they think it means.
Understanding Relationship: In the park, there are ways to play with each thing like you slide down a slide, you swing on a swing, you play in the sand not eat it. Kids can tell me the difference between what they played with in the park and how they were playing.
Scenario 1-
Numeracy: By figuring out the total number of toys that needs to be put away.
Patterns: Each of the toys will have a different pattern altogether which kids will learn about.
Symbols: They will learn symbols of those toys in books and would learn what it represents. Ex- If they see an orange, they would know what an orange looks like and that there is just one color that an orange is.
Understanding Relationship: All toys are different, but some are same too. Kids would learn to differentiate each one from another. Differentiate by color, shape and sizes.
Scenario 2-
Numeracy: They can learn how to count the total number of their snack pieces. Ex- cookies or chips.
Patterns: They would learn the pattern of their snack. If their snack has holes inside or a curve or even how big it is.
Symbols: They would act a certain while asking as kids that small cannot really talk. Ex- Kids generally have an action or a way of asking for water. They usually say “mum-mum” or “chap-chap”. The same way, if they want their snack, they can either point it towards it or say like a work which tells the teacher that the kid wants that particular snack.
Understanding Relationship: Kids can differentiate one snack with another. By the way each of them tastes, looks or feels.
Scenario 3-
Numeracy: Counting the number of instruments in that basket or another example is – counting the number of strings or keys on a keyboard. This would teach them about numeracy.
Patterns: Each instrument is a different pattern. Some are big, small, curvy, and wide. Kids learn about individual instrument by visually seeing it.
Symbols: Each instrument has a different symbol. As, people play guitar while singing and a keyboard for tune.
Understanding Relationship: Kids learn how to differentiate each tune by an instrument by listening to all and figuring out the difference.
Scenario 4-
Numeracy: Kids learn how to count the number of activities in the park. Example – how many swings and slides do they see.
Patterns: Each slide and swing has a different pattern to it. Some are long, other are wide and short. If there is a sandpit, kids learn about the pattern of the sand while playing in it. By touching it, sand mostly feels rusty and sometimes wet too.
Symbols: The park symbolizes joy and fun. Kids would learn that they are taken to a park to have fun and enjoy with other kids.
Understanding Relationship: They would learn how to differentiate each swing or slide with the others. As some are long ones, and others are short, kids get a sense of each by riding and swinging down from it.
Scenario 1
Numeracy- Counting the number of toys being put away
Patterns- Each toy may have a different pattern on it
Symbols- Kids can see different types of symbols on pictures, paintings or even in books
Understanding Relationship- Every toy is different, but some toys are the same because they may have the same pattern
Scenario 2
Numeracy- If the child has grapes, they an count how many grapes they have for snack
Patterns- With the grapes they can separate green grapes from purple grapes
Symbols- A child can call out a food item when they are hungry or even say things like “num num”
Understanding Relationship- Kids can figure out how different snacks look and taste
Scenario 3
Numeracy- The children can count how many items are in the basket
Patterns- Kids can see how each instrument is different from the other and any patterns that one instrument may have
Symbols-Music relates to emotions, whether you’re happy or sad. The kids can learn and pick out a song that makes them happy
Understanding Relationship- Kids can learn the different sound that each instrument makes
Scenario 4
Numeracy- As we are walking to the park the kids can count how many trees, cars, or other kids the see along the way or even how many swings are in the park
Pattern- The kids can see the different patterns of colors are all throughout the playground
Symbols- The park symbolizes fun, so when you start getting kids dressed to go out, they will get excited because they know that they are going to the park
Understanding Relationship- Kids can tell the difference in how the play outdoors and indoors as well as differentiate the different items in a park that are not in a classroom
Scenario #1:
Numeracy: Children can count how many toys they have picked up and put into the correct place.
Patterns: compare different toys and their shapes.

Understanding relationships between concrete materials: Every toy and every book has different shapes, looks, figures, so children are able to compare which one is more similar which one is more different from the other.
Scenario #2:
Numeracy: Children will learn how to count the total number of their snacks. For example if children have strawberries, they will count each strawberry they have.
Patterns: Children will be able to line up their necks in a pattern. Or separate the ancks based on the color or shape.
Symbols: Small children communicate through reactions and they make noise for example if they like their snacks they will say “yumm”. If they dont they will sack their heads or say “yuck”
Understanding relationships between concrete materials: Kids are able to understand how each snack looks and tastes.
Scenario #3:
Numeracy: Children can count each item that is in the basket. Or counting the number of strings from the instrument that they each picked up.
Patterns: Children are able to see how each instrument is different. Some are small, some are big, some are straight, some curvey, etc.
Symbols: Music can represent emotions, for example if you are sad, if you’re happy, or even mad. Children are able to understand that some music is more calm and can get you into your feelings and some can make you more hyped because the melody is more hyped up.
Understanding relationships between concrete materials: Children are able to understand that each instrument makes different sounds.
Scenario #4:
Numeracy: As we walk to the park some children can count their steps, some can count animals, some can count the amount of cars that pass by and many more.
Patterns: Children are able to compare the patterns that each playground has.
