By counting, using number names and
learning to recognize differences in number values, children build a
foundation for the development of number sense and mathematical reasoning.
- What You Need
- 3 plastic eggs
that come apart (or similar containers)
- Buttons
- Plastic netting
What to Do
·
In pieces of
netting, loosely wrap different numbers of buttons and place one bag of
buttons in each egg. With your child out of the room, hide the eggs.
·
Call your child
into the room and tell her that you've hidden three eggs and that you want
her to find them. As she finds each egg, have her count aloud—"1," "2," "3."
·
When she's found
all the eggs, have her open each one and take out the bag of buttons (but
not open it). Ask her to count how many buttons are in each bag.
