The Tooth Tally Project integrates a common event
in the life of a first year student –losing a tooth
– with reading, maths, writing, HSIE and technology.
Using "lost tooth" data collected in the classroom
year one students will practice counting skills and
collecting data.
They will learn to make and interpret graphs,
develop map skills, increase word processing ability,
use a scanner and communicate online using a wiki site.
It's a wonderful opportunity for children to realise that
in spite of many differences
children all around the world have many similarities, too.
