Rationale:
This activity meets standard, K.1.1.3 Count, with and without objects, forward and backward to at least 20. It also fits with the theme of butterflys and caterpillars because the students are counting segments on the caterpillar.
Materials:
Caterpillar picture and number matching cards
Motivation:
"Kindergartners, since we have been talking about butterflys and caterpillars this week I have a fun math matching game for you."
Steps:
Students match the number of body segments on the caterpillar with the numerical number.
To make it more difficult, could play it like memory. They turn all cards over and have to flip two over and get them to match.
Bibliographic data:
- Ideas and materials were self-created.
Nice! Remember to get a firm understanding of five before moving on to the higher numbers. The picture clues are good support for young learners!
