Bottle Top Bingo Addition Review

My friend Jamila, over at Successful Muslim Homeschooling made a bingo game a few weeks back. I told myself I would make one for my four year old and two year old.  It looked like a fun way to go over our addition 1 facts. I decided to do something different with this game. We have been collecting bottle tops from juice containers and decided we would use those for the bingo chips

What is great about this, is not only do they make great bingo chips but they come in different colors and sizes, which was another lesson within itself!

we used the inside of the folder to create the bingo board. Index cards for the call out facts (answers on the back) and bottle tops for chips.

It did not take a long time to collect so many tops! There are ones bigger than these that my husband used to play with the one yr old with while the others played. Chips in can but really bottle tops in a cup 

The boys had a good time and we even switched, our oldest son read the cards and my husband and I even played bingo.

Our two year old did a different game. We called out the numbers and he had to find them, for number recognition

Week 1 Macaroni Math Addition, Counting

Working with addition and counting with the children this week, we did some work with macaroni. T1 has learned his addition facts for one alhamdulilah and T2 is  working on counting and number recognition.  We used macaroni for both of them today.

Used food coloring for each of the boys' noodles

 T2 placed the amount of noodles  to match the number

We like to do both their lessons with the same idea, so it was macaroni math used for addition and counting.

Week 1 Learning Tree Pre K and K

In our curriculum we recommend parents make a learning tree to show the work for the week. It is a good way to help the children remember what they are learning and it is a fun creative way to display the work. Through out the day the children will visit the tree and talk about it amongst each other and we use it during lessons

Addition and Arabic  Numbers:

Work for the week is posted around the tree.

Addition Video 1 Facts

Our four year old is learning addition so we came up with this addition song:

They are already singing the song!

Lyrics: 

1+ 1 is 2 -- Takbir I love you

1+ 2 is 3 and I know that you love me

1+3 is 4 Let's add some more

1+4 is 5 Allah is so Kind

1+5 is 6 We have intelligence

1+6 is 7 We work to go to heaven

1+7 is 8 Allah is Most Great

1+8 is 9 My Abi made this rhyme

1+9 is 10 Allah is my best friend

1+10 is 11 Muslims go to heaven
