We used this set of flag cards to think and speak like mathematicians. The children pointed out many interesting details. Most of the flags had two-three colours. Many flags had shapes such as triangles, stars, crosses, and stripes. Although running in different directions, the flags of France, Italy, and Germany all had three bars of various colours. We practised counting and sorting in French. How many of the flags have red? Blue? Green? White? The children made many clever observations and connections!
In our learning groups, we have been continuing our discussions of the Olympics. During the Opening Ceremonies, all the athletes paraded into the stadium carrying their countries’ flags. The children sifted through a set of 10 flag cards. How many countries could we identify? Many students quickly recognized the Canadian and American flags. Several other children suggested locations where they have seen these flags flown, such as in front of our school and at arenas.
