Monkey Maths

Go Bananas! and make learning simple addition more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

One of the greatest benefits of this game is laying the foundation of enjoyable learning through investigation.

Monkey Math promotes understanding of early math skills by learning to balance equal numbers on this playful scale.  The banana tokens are each weighted perfectly so that correct number combinations always balance.

Just hang an equal number of bright bananas from each of the cute monkey's hands.  If you've done your addition correctly, the monkey will look straight ahead and his arms will be level.
If the numbers are not equal, his eyes will be crazily crossed and his arms will be up and down.  That means it's time to try again!

The game also comes with 4 game ideas : 'Banana Line-up'; 'Pick-A-Pair' (multi-player); 'Greater than-Less than?'; 'What's Missing?'.  All of the games support skills such as simple addition, number identification/recognition, as well as basic counting, sorting and matching, and problem solving.

Benefits: building understanding of the concept of weighing; to compare the weights of different things; to learn how to balance a scale, thus learning terms such as 'subtraction' (removal, take away) and 'addition' (adding) of objects and weights.  Comparison vocabulary can also be taught and reinforced, for example: 'lighter', 'heavier', 'equal to', 'not equal', 'same as', 'more than', 'less than', 'balanced', and 'total'.  Great alternative way for young children to conceptualise addition as opposed to counting on their fingers.  Good tactile learning aid.

Early Childhood Teachers could use Monkey Math for a range of purposes, including using it as a maths rotation activity.  The resource could be used for older children who require further support in the area of basic weight conceptualisation and comparison and basic addition.
