Composing and decomposing numbers are vital foundational skills in early math development, helping children understand how numbers function and laying the groundwork for addition and subtraction.
In EY 2, children participated in bead activities, using two different-colored beads to represent number combinations, making counting fun and interactive. They also explored number bond charts, creatively splitting numbers into two groups with vibrant pompoms to deepen their grasp of the concept.
These hands-on activities transformed abstract mathematical concepts into concrete experiences, enabling young learners to visualize and effectively internalize the relationships between numbers.
