CoP 3 - Initial Idea 2

• Using illustrations of everyday objects, which uses Piaget's ideas of constructivism by using existing knowledge to build on new knowledge. Therefore children are able to count by using well known objects, which makes it more abstract and interesting than using purely numbers. 
• The idea of using playing cards also gives a more child friendly approach to the game, whilst they are also learning and engaged in different ways, but still not being condescending or patronising. 
• The ideas of using different objects on the same card was inspired by the game of dobble, however this could then be played using math and counting techniques instead which then relates existing games and knowledge to learning new things. 
• The use of negative space and bright colours means that the game and cards are much more visually stimulating and also children respond to symbols and images better rather than numbers and letters.
