What can sharp minds do?
Age group 4/5 years old                  Environment education: "Aquarium" - recycling activity
First, we choose an used cardboard box and cover it with blue paper...

  

We chose some fishes and colored them as we liked most.

After we  finished coloring we applied glue on them and stuck it inside.

Some of the fishes were hung on the top of the box with a thin thread.

And the final product...was exposed to be admired.

Work materials: cardboard box, blue paper, crayons, glue, thread, adhesive tape

Math education -Didactic play -  "More fishes in clean waters, fewer fishes in dirty waters"
Age group 4/5 years old
Two teams of 8 players: one team for clean waters and one team for dirty waters

The rules: after they have recognize the work material, each team have to find the right number of fishes for the different tasks:
"Find more fishes than 1/2/3 or 4 to put in the clean water" and "Find fewer fishes than 5/4/3 or 2 for dirty waters"

 Each team has find the correct answer and then to relate the number with the quantity and quantity with the number.

 Then, the game became a little bit more complicated: "The teams has to added in "dirty waters"  fewer, as many or more"garbage"(in our case colorful broken pencils) than 4/3 or 2.

In this way, we've also formed the numerical scale.
Each team's member was applaud by his classmates for the answers and all children were very proud by their work.
