To be able to count numbers up to 100 using concrete objects. Counting in ones and tens, forwards and backwards.

 "What does 'man-made' mean?"

"Some things around us are made by nature — they weren’t made by people. These are called natural materials.

Other things have been made by people, using machines or in factories. These are called man-made materials."

Can we explore how to join man-made materials to create a 3D form?  

Different joining techniques:

Glue (good for paper, light materials)

Tape (quick and easy)

Folding and slotting

Paper fasteners (for moving parts)

In small groups using different methods to experiment joining 2 materials together.

Test the strength: What sticks best? What is neatest? What works for heavy/light objects?
