EXAMPLE OF EXERCISES

This week we continued watching videos with examples of possible exercises to do with children, in this case mathematics.

We watched another video with a Halloween story*. We talked about what we can work with the kids after the video: colors, traditional customs, parts of the house, etc. moreover, it’s a perfect video because the vocabulary and language it’s not complex and they repeat some parts several times.

Being a future teacher I saw in any case you can link Science and Mathematics with other resources and subjects. This exercise*, for example, shows how to some Mathematics during Halloween celebration and children really enjoy it.

Some of the videos are really interesting and can give me new ideas. The teacher recommended us to download them.

For example, another possibility is doing short exercises when you have some free time in the morning or after the break, and dedicate some parts of the day to work on it.
