Reframing Behavioral Characteristics in Class

The document discusses mathematical resources found in preschool classrooms and how they can be used to target specific mathematical skills and concepts. It provides examples of resources like counting objects, foam shapes, and attribute blocks. For each resource, it identifies the relevant mathematical skills like counting, comparing size, patterns, and shape recognition. It suggests possible activities like using counting objects to develop counting skills, sorting foam shapes by color and size, and using attribute blocks to learn shape names and properties. The document advocates discussing with peers how to conduct activities using the resources to effectively teach preschool mathematical concepts.

Table 4: Reframing Behavioural Characteristics

Discuss the general behavioural characteristics of all the children in your class with
the class teacher and record these in table form. E.g. Table 4 below.
Table 3: Example Reframing Behavioural Characteristics Record Sheet

Name of
child

General behavioural
characteristics

Reframed

Anna

She always knocks over other


childrens constructions or tries
to destroy other childrens art
work

She may want to join in


with other childrens
play but may not know
how to ask

Qays

Elena

He always distrupt others thing

She always take the role of the


teachers.

She may be frustrated


because she does not
know how to play with
the materials or
complete her own art
project
Maybe he wants
attention from the Miss.
Maybe he wants to be
the good students.
She want to say to the
miss that Im here give
me attention maybe.

Suggestions to
help improve
behaviour?

Give him attention and


love.

Let her be the helper


hand.

Reframe these behavioral characteristics and suggestions for improvements.

Table 6: Mathematical resources in the Classroom


Discuss possibilities for implementing activities using these resources with your peer
List of resources that target specific mathematical skills and concepts in the school
Mathematical Resources
found in the preschool
classroom:

Counting

Mathematics Skill / Concept that can be


developed with it.

Counting, calculating including more / less than;


addition, subtraction

Comparing size and ordering bigger / longer,


smaller, shorter;

Exploring on possible activities to develop


mathematical skills and concepts using these
materials

Describe how this activity will be conducted using


these resources
They will see the numbers written in the glass
bottle and they will the pompoms with to tongs and
count.

Numbers as Labels and for Counting:


Sorting, matching according to colour; patterns;
copying patterns.

count
Shape, space and measures:

Estimating / Measuring length & weight how many


bricks long, tall, wide? How many bricks will balance a
pencil, book etc?

Foam shapes of
various sizes, shapes,
colours

Counting

They see the shapes in the pictures and they put


the same shape above the picture, so they learn
the name of the shapes and also the colors.

Comparing size bigger / smaller

Numbers as Labels and for Counting:

Ordering, sequencing, creating patterns

Calculating:

(Attribute Blocks)

Shape, space and measures:


Tessellation (fitting shapes together)
Identifying shapes in the environment and making
shape pictures
Naming shapes: circle, square, rectangle, hexagon
Naming colours: red, blue, yellow
