Classroom Activity:
1. Number Color collage
Provide students with pre-cut numbers and have them glue on colored tissue paper to the corresponding character from the story. Then have each student share why they chose that character and then have the whole group count the collages in order, then display on classroom bulletin board.
Hi Belinda, great post! I think this book sounds great for young learners. I think it has a good message that all students are able to count and do math. I think it is important for students to know this at a young age, it can greatly affect how they approach math in the future.
ReplyDeleteBelinda, this book sounds amazing! There are so many ideas that a teacher can pull out of this book not just for math. This book has an amazing message that it put in just great words and illustrations. Since we are in math class, the incorporation of the different math concepts is great for a range of ages. Great pick!
