Owl's Toolbox: Geoblocks

A kindergarten math lesson with the owl from Owl's Toolbox. Children meet geoblocks: they tap each block to hear what the owl notices, stack a free-play tower, then build a house and a castle by dragging the block that fits each part onto the picture. They choose the block that could make a drum and a tent, show on their fingers how many blocks built the castle, and find the geoblocks among other math tools. They finish by counting to 10 together. Every direction is read aloud, so pre-readers can play on their own.

• 10 narrated scenes: notice and wonder, a free-play tower, and building a house and a castle
• Spoken hints on every wrong answer, and a count to 10 at the end

• Know that geoblocks are a math tool, and find them when they're named.
• Choose the block that fits each part of a pictured house or castle, and build it.
• Pick the block shaped like a real object, such as a drum or a tent.
• Tell how many blocks make a small build (up to 3) without counting.
