During our daily Numeracy lessons, our clever little Foundation students have been learning about the ‘Count All’ and ‘Count On’ mental addition strategies. We have been representing and solving simple addition problems using a wide range of concrete materials. These hands-on learning tools have helped consolidate our knowledge of addition. We have been learning to ‘lock in’ the largest number and ‘count on’ the smaller number to find how many we have ‘altogether’.  Some of our favourite activities so far have been using dice, dominoes, decks of cards and of course our trusty fingers!
