Our Pre-Schoolers have been exploring and experimenting with scales using various sized objects. Whilst having fun we have been encouraging mathematical thinking and reasoning by asking questions to enhance learning and understanding. Questions included ‘what happened when you placed that on the scales?’ and ‘why did that happen?’
Pre-School have been developing their language to compare and contrast, using words such as, ‘more, less than, heavier and lighter’ whilst ordering objects according to their size and weight
