Counting Collections

Can you find a large collection of objects and count and record them in as many ways as you can? Check out some students who have already given this challenge a go. I went on a walk and collected old cabbage leaves, look how I counted these. What can you count?

On the Other Hand...

Most people are right-handed, which means they use their right hand to write, brush their teeth, pour a drink, and bat a ball.... 

However there are people that are left handed, where they do all the above tasks with their left hand.

Here are some questions for you today

1. Which hand do you use when you write, draw, brush your teeth or pour a drink?

2. How many people in your family are right-handed or left- handed? 

Extra Can you include as many family members as you can  (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents) and make a tally chart then a graph to show this information? (Kauri Whanau I know you can do this)

3. If your class has 23 students and 4 of them are left-handed, how many right-handed kids are in your class?  Extra If half of those 4 left-handed kids can also write just as well with their right hands (meaning they are "ambidextrous"), how many right hands in the class can write?
