Strawberry Counting Game

In a previous post, we used strawberry baskets for an art project. Well, now we are turning them into a simple, yet powerful math tool. This strawberry activity is a cute way to practice number recognition and counting skills. It is also wonderful for number quantity. The large numbers help the child to understand that numerals represent quantity and that quantity is represented by a numeral. Additionally, the strawberries can be used for set tasks; recognition, matching, separation, and combination.

And let’s not forget about quantity comparison. Children may use the baskets of fruit to make comparisons of weight, size, and amount.

MATERIALS USED:

– Strawberry baskets
– Pipe cleaners/fuzzy sticks
– Faux strawberries
– Our free printable numbers
– Double-sided tape

- In My Garden, Mathematics, On the Farm

- centers, counting, free printables, number quantity, number recognition, number sense, quantity comparison, set combination, set matching, set recognition, set separation, strawberries, strawberry baskets
