I love that children can use their creative expression to put together anything that we challenge them to create. This activity is full of opportunities to discuss spatial awareness with them and incorporate the vocabulary to get them to understand the placement of those objects that they are manipulating.

I loved this activity – arches can be used in so many ways and it all starts with a beautiful rainbow.

its amazing how everyday play can be turned into a teaching moment for early math

I love the fact that these children are working on geometry and the don’t even realize it. It’s just the natural progression of their play.

Loved the connection between something being shaped like an arch and their grandma living by the arch!

I always love when children can make the correct rainbow patterns. It’s an a-ha moment for them, even when they might not know the Roy G Biv way to remember the pattern!

I really like and can relate to this activity. It is amazing how making rainbows lead to conversation of arches and children were able to be creative.

Never thought about extending a math interest in this way. Thank you
