Here is an activity to try at home! "Stars" has been a favorite. Estimate how many stars you can draw in one minute, Set the timer and start drawing! Make groups of ten, and count your singles to see how close your estimation was. | Scoop and Sort - take a small scoop of the beans. Use the dixie cups to make groups of ten. Skip count by tens and singles to find out how many you hand. Write your numbers in order on the back when you're done! |
Mystery Bags - I filled cloth bags with a variety of items (>100). The students had to sort them into groups of ten, skip count by 10s and singles to see what their final total was. They had to work through as many bags as they could & tell me which one had the most when they were finished! Try this at home with cheerios!
