Tips on how to use this exercise at home and at school.
Early maths concepts
In this exercise, the child recognizes the digits. The digits 0-5 are differently coloured and have more complicated representations. The child can say out loud what he/she recognised the digit by and what, if any, confused him/her.
Why is this exercise important?
The child needs to know the correct shape of the digits, which he also learns to write correctly. In everyday life, however, there are different graphic forms of digits, and different fonts are used, so it is useful to introduce children to different shapes where the basic characteristics are still recognisable.
Who is the exercise suitable for?
Generally, it belongs in preschool or early school play. In addition to number concepts, it develops visual discrimination.
Methodological recommendations
Either read aloud the instructions to the child, play them from the app or let the child read them by themselves.
In the settings we can select:
The digits move from right to left at the selected speed and the child "hits" the instruction.
Tips for similar activities outside the app
With the child, notice different fonts or types of writing. We don't have to focus only on numbers but also on letters. We notice leaflets, and headlines in magazines, and shops. For example, we ask the child: 'Can you see where the number five is on this page? What number is on this price tag? Show me where the number one is in the headline."
We can also write numbers or letters on the computer in different fonts and so on.
