Math Monday: Counting Beads & Geometric Solids

 

A simple math activity I learned teaching Montessori, can be created with some supplies kicking around the house. We used pliable wire (copper works well) and beads, while we cut corresponding numbers out of felt. Lace beads from 1-10 onto the wire and finish with a loop. Toss in a 'grab bag' for your younger set to work on while the older ones are busy with their maths.
