Literacy and Numeracy on the Fridge
In any household, the refrigerator door attracts a lot of traffic. That makes it the perfect place to post puzzles for children.
Being able to solve problems and communicate your thoughts are skills that everyone needs. In this video podcast, Simaya age 6, thinks aloud as she solves the puzzles by herself. Her mom, Caroline, encourages her daughter to experiment and take risks. Asking her a question such as, "Why did you choose to do that first?" helps Simaya adjust and clarify her thinking.
