Making a presentation in front of the whole class is something that makes even some adults nervous. The Scientist children took turns presenting their piles of 100 objects to their classmates. Noah brought in a container of 115 tiny Lego pieces. After the brief presentation by Noah, his classmates were ready to ask him questions.
"Why did you bring 115, not 100?"
"Why are they so small?"
"Where did you get them?"
This practice in presenting by one child and in coming up with thoughtful questions by the other children, was repeated for each child who brought in an example of 100 objects. What a great activity to get those young minds thinking!
He was so proud of this. There was no convincing him that he did not need those extra 15 Legos.
