Our math focus skill this week has been number sense and counting! Instead of just counting objects on worksheets, I thought it could be more fun for my students to count real objects! I put a different number of items inside reused play-doh cups. I think it works best as a station activity. Ideas for items to put inside the cups: buttons, pom-poms, paper clips, shells, clear stones, erasers...anything will work! Counting is cool with counting cups.
