Flik-flaks are a versatile resource that can be used for daily practice of counting and remembered facts.
In small group situations, each child can have a flik-flak and respond to “show me….” questions. In whole class sessions, the adult can use the flik-flak as a focus for practising number bonds and calculation skills.
Use the flik-flaks to practise:
-Counting
-Subitising
-Number bonds within 10
-Multiplication tables (2 eyes, 8 tentacles/arms)
-Using mathematical language
-Developing reasoning skills
