Graphic of the month
Julie
(4
years and 3 months) had chosen to play in the ‘baby clinic’ role
play areas. Julie weighed her baby on the scales and made a mark on
her booking sheet in the appropriate space; she repeated this after
using a tape measure to check the baby’s length. When she wrote the
baby’s age Julie said ‘6’ and made 6 distinct tally marks (iconic).
Julie
understands that quantity (representing mass) and numerals can be
represented with symbols.
She used her own
early explorations with marks and represented
quantities that are counted to represent her personal
meanings as she weighed her baby.
