Making number patterns – ELGs

Frankie uses his knowledge of maths to think things through using tens frames.

Good for looking at

• Mathematics ELGs
• Amounts
• Mathematical patterns
• Writing
• Motivation
• Resources

In this clip we see Frankie using his knowledge of maths to think things through using tens frames.

Notice

• how the adult scaffolds him and how what is available in the environment supports embedded learning.  This is not a set up activity. Although Frankie may not be quite at the same stage as Happiness, by the time a final judgement is made it is clear that he will be within both ELGs

Reflect

Refer back to the ELGs for Mathematics

• Frankie is the same as Happiness in that he is using tens frames to challenge himself mathematically, this does not mean he is relying on them though
• What else might you want to find out about Frankie?
• Which other Early Learning Goals are being demonstrated here?
