Sandpaper Letters and Language Objects

Good morning. I have sandpaper letter here which has the


sound of /c/. Let’s trace the /c/ sound. (trace the c)

Say /c/ /c/ /c/ as in cup, cat, cube.

CVC Words using Moveable Letters


Good morning. I have some objects here that we’re going to
spell using the moveable letters.

pig pan

cup red
Odd and Even Numbers
Today, I’m going tho show you how to use the counters to find
odd and even numbers.
Would you like to learn?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Now if I take my spindle and try to push it in the middle and it


gets stuck (do #1) thats an odd number. But if I take my spindle
and it goes all the way through, then it is an even number. (do
with #2)

Can you tell me what is this? (do #3 up to #5)

Would you like to try? (let the person do #6 up to #10)

Today, we have learned about odd and even numbers. Thank


you!
Decimal System
Hello! Today I’m going to show about the decimal place
values. This small bead is called units. Would you like to hold it?

= unit

The next one is a ten. It feels different than the units. Let’s
count how many units are there in a ten. 1 unit.. 2 units.. 3 units..
4 units.. 5 units... 6 units... 7 units... 8 unit... 9 units... 10 units...

= ten

The next one is a hundred. Let’s count how many tens are there
in a hundred. 1 ten.. 2 tens.. 3 tens.. 4 tens.. 5 tens... 6 tens... 7
tens... 8 tens... 9 tens... 10 tens...

= hundred

The last one is called a thousand. This one is very big and
heavy. Let’s count how many hundreds are there in a
thousand. 1 hundred.. 2 hundreds.. 3 hundreds.. 4 hundreds.. 5
hundreds... 6 hundreds... 7 hundreds... 8 hundreds... 9
hundreds... 10 hundreds...

= thousand

Can you show me the unit? How about the ten?


How about the hundred? How about the thousand?
Addition using stripboard
Hello. This is the addition stripboard. I
made angel wings on the sides of the
board.
Let’s practice making a 10. (Joaquine
will get blue strip #1 and red strip #9)

1 + 9 = 10
Let’s continue with 2. (Joaquine will get blue strip #2 and red
strip #8)
2 + 8 = 10
Would you like to try? (The person can put blue strip #3 and
red strip #7)
3 + 7 = 10

Let’s try 4 (Joaquine will get blue strip #4 and red strip #6. He
will finish until all the strips are on the board.)
Subtraction using Golden Beads
Hello. I will show you how to subtract
using Golden Beads. Subtraction
means to “take away”.

(Prepare the place value mat and


equation card so the child can create
the numbers using the wooden numbers
and build the quantity using the Golden
bead materials)

(Try to follow the presentation in the video link provided)


Geometric Solids
Today, we’re going to learn about 3 geometric solids. A cube, A
cylinder and a sphere.

A cube has 6 sides that are all squares.

A cylinder has 2 bases. And the bases


are circle.

A sphere doesn’t have any sides or


bases. It is round like a ball.
Grammar Symbols
Today, we’re going to learn some of
the grammar symbols.

Noun: The symbol for the noun has the


shape of the strongest structure on
Earth, the pyramid. The Latin word for
"noun" is "nomen", which means "name" in
English.

Article: The article is represented by a light blue pyramid. The


article introduces the noun.

Adjective: The adjective is represented by a dark blue


pyramid. Adjective describes a noun. It is part of the noun
family. The noun is the biggest because it is the most
important of them all.

Verb: The verb is represented by a red sphere. The red sphere


is round like the Sun. And just like the Sun gives energy and life
to matter, the verb gives energy and life to the noun. It is an
action word.
Division using Stamp Game
Today, we’re going to learn division
using the stamp game.

These are the thousands, hundred, tens


and units. The skittles will be our divisor.

Let’s have 3,333 divided by 3.

I will make 3,333 and divide it equally among 3 skittles. Let’s


start with thousands. 1 thousand for you, 1 thousand for you
and 1 thousand for you. 1 hundred for you, 1 hundred for you
and 1 hundred for you. 1 ten for you, 1 ten for you and 1 ten for
you. 1 unit for you, 1 unit for you, and 1 unit for you.

The answer is 1,111.

Let’s have another example. Let’s have 2,464 divided by 2.


(Do the same approach as the first one)
Types of Triangles Accfording to Sides
Let’s talk about triangles and how we
can identify them by their sides.

Now let’s make a triangle. Now I’m


going to use the same colored
sticks which means that all of the
sides of this triangle are equal.

This is an equilateral triangle, all its sides are equal.

Now let’s make another triangle. On this triangle, I’ve got 2


sides that are the same length and one side that is different.
And we call this triangle an isosceles triangle.

And there’s another type of triangle. When we have a triangle


whose length is all different, we call it scalene. And that’s it, we
have a scalene triangle.

I wonder if you could make another equilateral triangle or


isosceles triangle or a scalene triangle.
Factors using Algebraic Peg Board
Hello. I’m going to show you how to
use the Algebraic Peg board to know
the factors of a number.
What is a factor? A factor is a
number that divides another
number or quantity exactly, without
a remainder.

Let’s find the factor of 12. I’m going to try groups of 3 out of 12.
I was able to make equal groups of 3 out of 12 with no
remainder. And we have 4 groups of 2. Now we can say that 4
is a factor of 12.

Now, we’re going to make groups of 5. And as you can see


there’s a remainder. So groups of 5 doesn’t work.

Five didn’t work so can you try 6? You are able to make equal
groups of 6 out of 12 with no remainder. And we have 2 groups
of 6. Now we can say that 2 is also a factor of 12.
