It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.

| Giving out Books/pencils/cups etc to class mates. Pile of items the teacher wants handed round to the class | Give the child a pile of books to hand out. Does the child notice if there is one too many or one too few? Set it up so that there is one too many/few and comment. Say 'Look......too many/too few books/pens' etc. | Commenting on 'unequal sets' is a very everyday activity. Children experience 'unequal sets' when there are too few chairs in the class room, too many children for the number of cakes at dinner. Comment on these experiences. Keep the activity concrete - work with objects at this stage. | |||||
