K-2 Math:
Dot Match
Today's
Snack: Make
Fruit Freeze Cups. Pour fruit juice into smallish paper cups. Add fruit if you
wish. Place in the freezer until frozen solid. To eat, tear back the paper
around the top and eat with a spoon, while holding the bottom of the cup. At
the bottom, it may be slushy enough to drink!
--------------------
Supplies:
20 index cards | black marker pen |
scissors
- Count out two stacks
of 10 index cards each.
- On one set, write the
numbers 1 through 10 so that each card has its own number.
- On the other set of
10, draw 1 to 10 dots, so that each card has a different number of dots.
- Mix up the 20 cards.
Place them face down on the floor or table.
- Taking turns with a
friend or grown-up, play a game of "Concentration."
- Select two cards and
turn them over, face-up, in the same spot where they were. Try to remember
where each card was.
- If there is no match
between the numeral on one card and the number of dots on the other, turn
both cards back over. If you get two numerals, or two dot cards, that's
not a match, so turn both back over. But try to remember where each card
is.
- Keep taking turns
until someone has a match. For example, it is a match when someone turns
over the card that says "4" and then the card with the four dots.
- When someone gets a
match, remove that pair, and keep playing until all the pairs are found.
