Using the idea of “The Gingerbread Man”, can you try this experiment and record exactly the words that your child says for me please?:
- Take a small Gingerbread Man biscuit (or any biscuit will do!)
- Place him in a glass or bowl already filled with water.
- See if he ‘swims’ or sinks.
- Watch what happens as he spends more time in the water.
- Have a discussion of what happened to the gingerbread man.
These are the Numicon shapes which we use in school. Please talk about their shapes and the order they are in.
The colours never change and their order is as shown, (we don’t turn the shapes around.)
If you would like to download this resource to cut out and order, it is free on the ‘Twinkle” website below.
