My collection of dice is my favourite circle time activity. They can be used for counting, adding and subtracting. Students love these and get so excited when they are brought out, especially when they get to pick which dice they want to use.
Another circle time favourite! These felt fish bowls are great for counting, adding and subtracting. Students love to pick which fish they want to add and enjoy the activity while learning essential math skills.
These counting bears can be used for so many different mathematical activities in the classroom. They are the perfect size and children seem to enjoy creating patterns, sorting, counting or even just playing with them.
Other manipulatives such as small toy cars can be used for counting activities, whatever will interest the student.
Counting the days during calendar time can assist students in learning place value. Counting the straws and grouping them in tens and eventually hundreds, this activity becomes an easy concept as it is part of the childs daily routine.
Pocket charts are always fun and allow for a hands on approach as part of a mathematics center. Students can interact with their teacher and peers while reviewing/learning basic math concepts.
Counting and number recognition
Counting: Base Tens
All activities are introduced by the teacher and can be used as a circle time activity or as a mathematics based center in the classroom. Students are assisted by the instructor and encouraged to use these tools in order to develop basic mathematical concepts.
