ABSTRACT
Introducing a new topic
Make it exciting and enjoyable.
Talk about the topic; make it challenging; be interested in the children's views.
If children use coloured filters or lenses, encourage them to continue to use them in mathematics.
Discuss the new topic; write down words the children might meet.
Allow children to speculate, hypothesise, search in other directions and make connections to other topics and subject areas.
Encourage originality in discussions among children and with the teacher.
