The story is decomposed, put in sequence, and numbered.

Now, with the children dramatize what we have heard

From nothing at all ...

Boom! the explosion…

... Was born the first planet ...

…the second planet…

…the nineth planet…

... coming up to the tenth!

Our Universe is wonderful .... I am part of it.

It’s nice to observe the Universe!

In the classroom we propose the story with games. The nothing is absolute: the darkness, the silence, and… all hidden under the table.

In other words, nothing is ZERO..The nothing is: no games in the classroom.

We begin to number the planets fora game that we do in the garden.

We are ready. begin to count ... Zero…

…We continue to count ... one ...

... coming up to ten!

Once upon a time ... a little dot that burned much, had gas and dust around.

the small dot began to grow and began to spin fasterthe rotating disk became hot, swelled and burstgas and dust came together, and with time together they formed the planetsthe planets revolve around the sun, each of them drawing an orbit

now we play with the numbers: symbols and quantity

with the plasticine, we reproduce the numerical symbolsWe reproduced the quantities, with game the toy building brick (LEGO)divide each planet into several partsnumbering from zero to ten

so we make a team work ...

…that will enrichthe murals of the class.to conclude an individual work verification

numbers help us every day. for example in a table game……and we are the winners! …or in an outdoor game…
