"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Make & Take Monday

French Fry Math
Taken from Dr. Jean

Materials: yellow kitchen sponge, french fry containers (regular size box not large), markers

Directions: Cut sponges into 1/2 " strips resembling french fries. Write numerals 1 - 10 on the french fry containers (or use whatever numbers you are working on in your class). Children make appropriate sets of french fries in the container

More Ideas: Children roll 2 dice and place that amount in the french fry container. Write number words on the containers. Use for place value. The posiiblilities are endless and kids LOVE it!
