Table 6

This document lists mathematical resources commonly found in preschool classrooms and the mathematical skills and concepts that can be developed using each resource, such as counting, calculating, comparing sizes, sorting, and pattern recognition. It also discusses exploring possible activities to develop these mathematical skills and concepts using the listed materials. Some example activities mentioned are using Numicons for counting and calculating, foam shapes for identifying, naming, and comparing sizes of shapes, and beads for threading, counting, and comparing lengths.
