Third Parwo lesson

On 8 April I gave my third Parwo lesson. This lesson was about number sense. The children did a remove game. The older children got each twenty tokens and the other children each ten. For this lesson I asked parents to help and they accompanied a group. They played as Easter Bunny and the tokens were ‘eggs’. When a child has his eyes closed, the Easter Bunny takes a few eggs away. Then the child has to say quickly how many eggs are gone. The meaning of this lesson was to let children discover structure. To see how many eggs are gone quickly, you have to make a structure. Many children had make a structure, but only a few saw quickly how many eggs were gone. The other children were still counting all the eggs. There were a lot of different structures: groups of two or four, rows and figures. The children were in the role of investigator. This lesson was given on the second level of the Parwo matrix: exploration of content and structure and the first two domains: numbers till ten and till twenty.
