"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."

Workshop Wednesday

Christmas Sort and Count

This is a simple counting activity with some Christmas erasers. 

Materials: a sorting tray (muffin tins make great sorting trays), a basket of number cards, tongs, and a bowl of erasers. 

Directions: To do this work the child uses the tongs (strawberry huller) to sort the objects into the compartments.  Once they are sorted the child counts them and places the appropriate number card next to the set.  Then they have a teacher check their work before putting it away.

This is what it looks like when finished.
