Day 5 Perceptual Variability

Teachers use variables to teach children 'How many"
 
Hence,
- The choice of material is important
- The shape, the size, the colour matters
 
*Avoid giving different types of variables such as (long sticks & short sticks)
*Use different variable colours, because it is not the colour we intend to teach children.
 
Day 1     All identical colour
Day 2     Change colours
(The aim is to look at the numbers and not the variable)
