• Counting
Make a set of cards numbered from 1-9. Have the child place the correct number of school counters on
each card. Use the words
most
and
fewest
. Ask, “Which card has the
most
school counters? Which has
the
fewest
school counters?”
• Sorting by Color and Type
Sort the school counters into color sets. For a young child, limit the number of counters to be sorted.
Gradually increase the number as he/she becomes more confident. Have the child compare sets. For
example, the child sorts 5 red school counters and 3 blue counters. Use the words
more
and
fewer
to
describe the sets. Repeat this activity using the type of school counter, instead of color.
• Sequencing
Select 4 red school counters and 4 blue school counters. Arrange the school counters in a pattern for the
child to copy. For example, red school counter, blue school counter, red school counter, blue school
counter, etc. Have the child copy your pattern. Take turns and let the child arrange his or her school
counters in a pattern for you to copy. As the child becomes more confident, add a third and fourth color to
the sequence. Repeat this activity using types of school counters instead of colors.
