Abstract

This study explores early childhood simple numeracy skills through a “mini pool” play activity themed Allah’s creatures, focusing on land and water animals. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied to describe the learning process using media such as water animal toys inside and land animal outside a container. Data were collected through observation, tinterview, and documentation. The findings reveal that the activity effectively supports children’s understanding of basic addition and subtraction in a concrete manner. Children employed various counting strategies, including one-to-one counting, subitizing, and object grouping. Their emotional engagement and social interaction were positive, showing enthusiasm and natural mathematical communication. Teacher facilitation played an important role in guiding children’s thinking. This study confirms that contextual play-based learning is beneficial for early numeracy development and suggests further variation and teacher support to optimize outcomes.

Abstract

Self-identity recognition is a fundamental aspect of young children’s social and emotional development. One important component of self-identity is gender recognition, which serves as the basis for children to understand roles and distinctions between males and females. This study aims to describe the use of picture card media as a learning aid to support playgroup students in identifying their gender-based self-identity. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through classroom observations, documentation of instructional media, and teacher reflections on children’s learning processes. The findings indicate that picture cards effectively enhance children’s understanding of gender differences. Clear and observable visuals help children associate physical characteristics and social roles with each gender. Following the activity, 75 % of the students were able to state their own gender and differentiate characteristics of males and females. Overall, picture card media proved to support gender identity learning in an enjoyable, interactive manner suited to early childhood developmental stages. These findings offer practical implications for early childhood educators to design engaging visual media aligned with children’s concrete thinking, as well as theoretical implications that reinforce experiential learning approaches in early childhood education.
