This term we have been revising the Indonesian numbers. At both sites we discussed, using Circle Time, why students thought we spent so much time learning our numbers. We had some interesting responses: my favourites were to crack codes and get into safes, so we know the speed limits and don’t get fined, to count our pocket money and to know when it is time to finish.
A great app to revise numbers from 1-10 is the Count to Ten number game. This app comes in several languages, but unfortunately, no Bahasa Indonesia! Once again, working in pairs, we used the English version of the game to test ourselves. One person played and the other scored, counting any Indonesian number error. It worked well and the Year 2-5 enjoyed competing against themselves and me!
