Look for a complement ... the goblet game

  • The goblet game:counting from 1 to 5

Material :

an opaque plastic cup and 5 tokens (numbered from 1 to 5)

is played   with two

 

Show the collection - one closes his eyes while the other hides tokens under the upturned cup -

Knowing how many chips are hidden by seeing what is left on the table - (i.e. looking for a complement)

 

Look for a complement ... the game of rabbits

  • Numbering from 1 to 5 - variant of the goblet game

Pedagogical guide "towards maths" (edition access) 

The sheet follows this game to move from the perceived experience to the conceived.

A candy skewer

For the Christmas market, the Grande Section pupils will make candy skewers.

The choice of different sweets and the number per skewer is defined by the students.

The child will prepare his skewer using the sheet, the adult taking care of the realization because threading the marshmallows is quite delicate.

Sharing status

  • Red box or blue box :

Material :12 tokens - one red box - one blue box

 

Fair share:

put the tokens in both boxes so that there is the same number in both boxes (same)

Unfair sharing:

this time there must be two more tokens in the red box

Differentiated work: vary the number of counters

          _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_           _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_         _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_     vary box dimensions

          _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_           _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_         _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_     offer two different color trays instead of boxes

  • With egg cartons:

Material :12 blue tokens and 12 red tokens - a box with 12 cells

Fill the box:

put one jeton and only one in each cell (regardless of color)

Filling the box with uneven color distribution:

this time there must be two more red tokens than blue tokens

Differentiated work: vary the difference between the number of tokens (4 more in the red box)
