My Little Bean Counters

We are learning about plants and seeds.  This is one of our math activities for this week.


Equipment

  • beans or other seeds (we also used corn kernels)
  • paper folded in 6ths (or quarters for a faster finish)
  • crayons
  • white glue
 

Process

  • Children write a number in a square (I let the kiddos pick their own numbers to make it a little more fun)
  • Children make the number by gluing on the corresponding amount of beans/seeds
  • When done they can read and show their numbers to the teacher or a friend (checking)








Skills

  • fine motor skills (pinching and placing beans)
  • number writing skills
  • making sets
  • counting sets
  • using white glue (a small dot and that's the lot)
