Maths activity to promote counting and number bonds using the principle of part/part/whole.
I used dog biscuits to act as concrete resources to partition the numbers on the dogs collars. I explained to the children that the dogs could only eat the number of biscuits shown on their collars each day. Too many they would get a tummy ache and too few they would be hungry.
The first bowl was for it’s breakfast and the second for it’s dinner. This seemed to really help them organise their ideas and show various ways to make the number.
The pack includes a part/part/whole mat which I copied 4 times and several dogs with number collars to print, laminate and cut out. We used bone shaped dog biscuits to use as counters which the children enjoyed playing with and surprisingly none were nibbled by the children!
