I have had this work on the shelf for some time and it’s been pretty much ignored so I thought that as A is getting into counting I would demonstrate this and let him have a go. This work consists of a tray of mixed shells and a piece of wood that I have drawn lines on to create a ten frame board. We did a bit of comparison between shells and then decided to use the cone shaped shells. I showed him how to place the shells within the frames, then away he went, picking out shells and putting them on the board. He wanted a variety of sizes. He especially likes tiny ‘cute’ things at the moment so the baby shell had to be included. He talked about the smallest, biggest and ‘mediumest’ shells.
And then of course we practised counting the shells. A still has trouble with one-to-one correspondence, he will sometimes count the same object twice.
